Well at least Doctor Drivel has derived an appropriate name for
himself. How can someone claim so much knowledge to be factual when
everyone around him is saying things to the contrary?

As to insinuating that you are the only professional giving advise.....
I dont even think the rest of us need to comment.

Your argument seems to ring similarities with professional
photographers a few years ago condeming digital over traditional film.
Now most professionals mainly use digital, keeping film for specialist
jobs. Now I would say the same for Hep2O and other good plastic
plumbing. Apart from those who still hold views of snobery, it is the
best solution for most places in most houses. That said, I like nothing
better than stepping back having spent hours with a pipe bender and
torch creating a professional looking plumbing job around an unvented
tank... but lets be honest, the customer is normally just interested
with a long lasting job and a low bottom line on the invoice.

So put your hacksaw away and buy a pipecutter... after all would you
but copper with a hacksaw in a professional environment???
