Jeff, you have to realise that this (alt.hvac) is NOT a DYI group or a
question and answer forum. It gets very tiresome when people ask the same
questions over and over again (for years!!) because they are too lazy to
RESEARCH it. They just want someone to do all the work for them. Now, I
agree, the OP said he had tried a local contractor and didn't get
satifaction. But he has to realise: If that guy couldn't figure it out, AND
HE WAS THERE!!, how does he expect someone to do it OVER THE INTERNET!!!!!
There are enough capable people in alt.home.repair. Best if people keep
homeowner questions there......
And those people from alt.hvac who wish to respond to HO
questions also read alt.home.repair, for that purpose.
This is only a thought, but if HOs finding your newsgroup are becoming a
real bother, perhaps the professionals would find things less annoying
if they formed a Yahoo group with a "members only" option? That would
keep out those HO's questions. Its sort of hard to get the average Joe
to stop and think about what the makeup of a newsgroup might be from
just its name, so they just go ahead and crosspost the way David did.
For all I know there's one or more of those Yahoo groups for HVAC
already, huh?
Best Regards, I'll shut up now...
