Both types have pros and cons - I've always been under the impression

That isn't really true -- at most, one or two pounds of cold air
escapes and
is replaced with warm air. That has almost zero effect on the
temperature
inside.

How does non-pressurized air have weight?

The same way anything else has weight. Did you really think that air
weighs
nothing?

Yes. All my scales currently read "0". Yet sitting on top of
them are billions of cubic feet of air.

OK, So I had to look it. I don't know the logic behind it, but 1
cubic foot of air at standard temperature and pressure assuming
average composition weighs approximately 0.0807 lbs.

So to understand your comment, one would have to know the weight
of 0F (approximately) air and then convert that to cubic feet to
get any sort of sense what the **** you actually mean.

Anybody know that off the top of their head? (Some dumbass will
of course look it up, post it, and claim they knew it. but this
is Usenet - **** like that is a given).

lol
