All questions home owner or pro or DIY welcomed ESR wrote instructions on how to ask questions the smart way. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Basically, do your homework--show you've put in some effort to answer your own question. Nobody was born knowing everything; the people you're asking to help you got help from someone in their past. Most folks remember this and repay their debts by helping others. These are the people you're looking for. As for the assholes? People *do* have a right to be assholes if that's what they want. Don't worry about them. Take what you need and leave the rest. Keep coming back and more will be revealed to you when you are ready. |

What I don't understand is...If they really don't enjoy helping people...then why do they bother with usenet? Mike |

What I don't understand is...If they really don't enjoy helping people...then why do they bother with usenet? To act out their psychopathic sadistic tendencies? |

Comparison shopping is good. Everyone understand that specific circumstances may be different and all prices posted aren't comparable, but more information is always good. |

It is sad to see a few members of some groups play their little games -
that is what hiding behind an electronic network will do - bring out the AH's. It also brings out people who have real expertise and offer their expertise and knowledge to the rest of us. Like to be able to meet some of these AH's - always wondered what their problem(s) are - psych types call it compensation for an actual or percieved problem. Ah well may the AH's depart the gene pool quickly. |

"alt.hvac is changing for the good.
All questions home owner or pro or DIY welcomed" I posted a question there - and promptly got told by an AH that consumers did not belong on that site. Several people jumped on his greasy back. I had a specific question - see below Question posted on alt hvac Am in planning stage of building a new home in S WI. Have talked to several HVAC dealers - learned tube type HX are much more reliable than clamshells - I suppose most agree with that. Now are there differences between tube type HX's from manufacturer to manufacturer. Most of the internal parts look very similiar - like PC's - umpteen brands with very few manufacturer's of the basic parts. Are there differences in types of HX tubes - if so which brand(s) are better and why. Responses seemed to indicate that there are differences in HX tube design. Amen on the biggest priority being getting a system correctly designed and installed. Now back to the question - which manufacturer makes a better HX tube or on the flip side - whose should be avoided. They all looked the same to me - there are some differences. Thanks all Thanks |

Are there differences in types of HX tubes - if so which brand(s) are Don't know which specific model/manufacturer is better, but it would be reflected in the overall reliability of the model. Newer models use different designs and materials (stainless, "Tufsteel", etc.), so the reliability may vary year to year. As a homeowner, I don't think you need be concerned about this aspect, and instead concentrate on a good installer and warranty. |

Comparison shopping is good. Everyone understand that specific circumstances may be different and all prices posted aren't comparable, but more information is always good. There's a difference between good, useful information and useless information. Comparing things like a computer or a car, where everything is identical, is fine - there will still be regional variations, but relatively small. It just doesn't work that way in construction. The labor and material prices vary so widely from place to place, even in the same state, that the numbers become pretty much meaningless to someone from a different area. R |
