Poor you

No. *Poor usenet. *

Poor every future poster to any newsgroup that asks a simple technical
question and gets told by the peanut gallery that it's important to know
all the ancilliary circumstances surrounding the question when in
reality in the end those circumstances have no bearing on the question
or it's answer.

@Home Guy:

It is a poor craftsman that blames the tools...

Ask a question based in this reality (rather than your fantasy which
is filled with gaps in your practical knowledge that someone could
drive a box truck through) and you can get an answer...

Ask a fishy question that doesn't sound right to people who *do*
know, and they will want to know more about the situation before
they chime in with their opinion...

You very poorly defined your "issue" to begin with and then you
focused on techno-babble and ill-advised methods to attempt
to monitor your power usage... When there are devices that
are purpose made and could be bought and installed in any
panel whose power consumption you wish to monitor...
