The point is that if the clock isn't serving any useful purpose, then disconnecting it to save electricity (an

Too small an amount to bother about for anyone but a mindless anal obsessive.

You're missing the point,

Nope, you are.

You're no friend of mine.

You're thinking "how much money will someone save on their electric bill by disconnecting a clock?"

Nope. I rubbed your nose in the FACT that with the RANGE
being discussed, the use of electricity by the clock is such a
trivial part of what the rest of the RANGE uses that it isnt worth
bothering about unless you are a mindless anal obsessive.

(the answer to which is, of course, practically nothing).

So it isnt worth bothering about disconnecting THE CLOCK IN THE RANGE
which happened to be what the OP was stupid enough to bother about.

I'm talking about the *collective* energy usage of all those millions of clocks, wall warts, etc., plugged in out
there.

Pity that hardly anyone is actually stupid enough to bother
to disconnect the clocks in many of the RANGES out there.

And if you care about what a wall wart uses, the only thing that
makes any sense at all is to replace the ones that are the dinosaur
transformer based wall warts with proper modern switch mode wall
warts instead and save virtually all of the power those use, and have
the convenience of being able to leave them plugged in all the time.
