As far as ALT.HVAC, when you come in here and ask a question, *most* of
the
time, depending on the question, you will be to call a tech because we
can't
*SEE* your particular furnace or heat pump or a/c through the computer
screen. 99.99% of the time you haven't bothered to do your homework and
search the archives to see that your same question has been asked
hundreds
of times over the last 10 years. You will probably find that 99% of the
time
when somebody is told to call their local tech, they get ****y about it
just
the same way that you did because it wasn't what they wanted to hear.
FWIW,
I have given up trying to reply privately because I am tired of typing
a
lengthy reply of whats *probably* the cause, and how to correct the
problem
only to have it bounce back because a bogus e-mail address.

I can truly understand your point, I just don't see the necessity of all
the name calling that came from a simple question by blueman. A simple
"we don't care to answer that in this newsgroup" would suffice, instead
some of you act like "crazies." You're about the first one to respond in
a logical manner. I appreciate that.

I agree -- no one is forced to answer any questions on USENET. Heck,
every day I see plenty of questions on newsgroups that either I don't
know the answer to or don't care to answer. I would have to be pretty
desperately unemployed to waste my time responding to every posting
that I didn't want to respond to in the first place with a tirade.

The funny thing is that if their real intention is to avoid non-pro
clutter on the alt.hvac newsgroup then they have truly achieved the
opposite. Here we have a thread of maybe a 100 posts (95% of them
childish name calling and tirades) that surely is obscuring any true
pro-to-pro conversation. Believe me, if no one had responded to my
post, I wouldn't be sitting here responding to a vacuum. The
signal-to-noise ratio has got to be one of the lowest on USENET and
that is saying a LOT. All those "pros" must really be proud of the
level of discourse here... Hmmm, makes you really envy all those
"lucky" people in the HVAC profession -- NOT!

**** off, asshole.
