Then by your logic, helping the DIY homeowner from another locale is
also no loss to you since you would never have had him as a customer
anyway. You can't have it both ways -- either the person is a
potential customer in which case you should be polite and engaging at
least for your own selfish business reasons, or the person is not a
potential customer in which case what do you care whether you or
someone else gives him free advice that avoids a service call.
Thats easy. We dont care about some cyber assholes furnace. Call a
local tech. You can make him care with enough money.
Either way why do you waste your time here if you are unwilling to help?
Again, were not here for you. see above
Why don't you get with the rest of the USENET culture which is about
people helping others?
Why dont you join the PEACE Corp and do someone some good yourself!
Take youe whinny friends with you.
And if you want a newsgroup restricted to so-called "pros", then why
don't you set up your own moderated newsgroup so that you can all
bitch among yourselves.
Its more fun to poke fum at cheap assholes like you,
Finally, if you are as disgruntled as we all suspect and have no interest
in helping DIY homeowners, then why not at least be a mature adult and
ignore it?
Please understand. We dont care about you or your furnace.
In any case the obnoxious responses by some of the so-called
professionals has only doubled my resolve to fix this problem myself. Why
would I want to give business to a bunch of rude and selfish babies
even if they could do it cheaper and better?
Thats right cut your nose off to spite your ugly face. We dont care.
But in some ways this is fun, I have never wanted to be a troll
before, but alt.hvac does sound like a good place to go if you want to
get a whole bunch of people aggravated with just a simple post. Maybe
we should all recommend to each of our friends to drop questions to
alt.hvac on a regular basis and then be amused by the responses
Tell them to bring lots of tissues.
