I believe most of my outlets are wired in one series to a GFI outlet

Also, is there a difference between a GFI outlet and surge protected
outlet ? * Keep in mind, I'm far from a electrical guru so easy words

Here's some easy words: All that crap is just a con job. Some dickwad
invented the stuff, then bought some lawmakers. You flat out don't need
any of that crap. You don't even need the damn ground pin anymore, since
everything is plastic and double insulated.


You are the dickwad. The previous answers have been absolutely on the
mark and you should be ashamed for your bad language and een worse
comments themselves.


Sorry, I'm not ashamed on either count. **** **** **** **** ****. ****.
