LMAO...

Pop, shame on you, you're letting your ignorance show.
There's no need to be angry because you aren't as knowledgeable as you would
like to be. So you don't know much about garage door counterbalance
systems and electric door openers, big deal....

LOL, you've got a real load of false ego today, don't you?
You're certainly good at making judgements based on nothing and
trying to make yourself look like you want to.

I don't intend to refute your illogicals and misinformation (due
to your method of application, not that it's 100% wrong), so you
can relax; I see no point in warring with an unarmed enemy.

Respond if you wish; I'm done with you.
