Poll question:

How many guys here have wives who mistakenly think that when warming up
a cooled down house the rate of temperature change produced by a typical
home heating system will be faster if they shove the thermostat setting
all the way up to 90F than if they just move it to the appropriate setpoint.

One minute of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbMmj5YZ8-U,
commencing at 2:47, explains everything.

As for the poll, *my* wife understands how most thermostats operate,
and she had a good laugh when we watched that episode of Peep Show.
Watch the whole episode if you want to see a really good poem about
GWB.
