According to TURTLE :

You better figure out people on this alt.home.repair before you assume
they are very knowledgiable about 220 volt and 120 volt service. Judging
Ignorant responces here can get you in trouble. You better clear the air
right off even when it may not be the case for Assuming anything here
will get someone hurt. You better say it in all cases to be sure.

Having been on _these_ groups for 14 some-odd years, it's a matter of
course to assume the worst, reading all of the postings first and realizing
that 3-4 people had already stomped on the stupid idea, just means you
can avoid the noise and give the real story on differences between 120V
and 240V.

OP did not say anything as to it being their thoughts or not.

That's pretty typical here. Ask a question and not indicate that they've
read or understood the followups. There's enough noise, no need to add
to it.
