Steam heating is unsuited to smallish systems. It has been abandoned

It has none of the avantages a large system has and all of the

Only in America.

You actually made sense, but then you had to add the last line to
insult a country. Are you really that much of a scumbag? You give
the rest of the Brits a bad name. You have a strange way of achieving
your orgasm.


I wonder the same thing. Every human endeavor (including a country) has
its pluses and minuses. Sensible people look at the big picture. I don't
get the point of Harries constant US bashing.

Maybe he needs to have a talk with someone about why he can only see the
bad side of things?


You don't know the size of the system so to make a comment it is
inappropriate to use steam is wrong. One advantage of steam is the
ability to transport energy over long distances and to greater heights
than water. With water, you need much more power and larger pumps.
