Just post the goddamn email already. Be sure to include the headers,

Actually, I believe the only emails I sent him were when I accidentally hit
"reply" rather than "post" in my newsreader... I then realized my
mistake and posted the same response to the newsgroup so you can find
it all here in public.
So to set the record straight, here are my responses:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. I asked a legitimate question and Tekkie responded with a complete
unprovoked troll response, including calling me a ridiculous name
(Jeffy) and making a sarcastic, demeaning remark whose relevancy to
the original question is hard to fathom (unless one is perhaps
schizophrenic)

We are about to upgrade our panel from 100A to 200A.
The run from the electric company drop to the panel is about 15 ft
vertical drop followed by 30 feet horizontal run within the house.
- Other than the fact that copper costs much more than aluminum,
what
are the pros/cons of copper vs. aluminum?
- Is copper worth the added cost?
- Also, the supply will run through the unfinished utility portion
of
the basement at joist level. Is it worth it to encase the cable
in
metal (or pvc) conduit?
Hey Jeffy, going to the warehouse to get some cable and connectors
cheap?
Say volts, amps, shorts and you will impress them with your
knowledge and
they will drop their drawers, er prices to suit you.

What is your problem? Didn't your mommy ever teach you that if you
have nothing relevant or nice to say, then keep your mouth shut?
Sounds like you must be one of those incompetent, shady contractors
who can only get by through cheating naive customers -- if you were
any good and if you were an honest worker, I can guarantee you that
you wouldn't feel so threatened...

2. In response, to Tekkie making two false accusations and impugning
my honesty, my career, etc., I posted the following:

But you ARE wasting their time. You admitted you called one branch
did your
research, then called the other branch to order. Meanwhile somebody
is
waiting at the counter while the first branch nursemaids you.
For someone with a name like "Tekkie", you sound like you have an IQ
of about 50. Do you know how to follow a Usenet thread? If you did,
you would know that I was not the poster who talked about calling "one
branch" and going to another.
You pay sales tax for that stuff? Probably not...
Just because you appear to be a shady contractor whose business is
threatened by honest pricing does not mean that others are similarly
dishonest. Trying to get the best price on supplies is "good 'ole
American capitalism," cheating on taxes is illegal -- can you grasp
the difference?
What do you do for a living? Bet you're in by 8:05 and gone by 4:55
and if
you have to stay you want OT or a bonus.

I am sure that your pea brain could not even begin to comprehend what
I do for a living

Beyond that, you are all welcome to read the rantings of Tekkie and
his obsession with name-calling and finding pathology in everybody but
himself...
