Removing it won't let any CO into the home, it will only shorten the life of the draft inducer motor. If the motor dies, the furnace will cease to function. TDD |

I doubt that very seriously. If the draft inducer fails to run, the gas valve will not turn on. That is only one type of draft inducer motor. Others have a centrifugal switch in the end cap which acts as an additional safety. The type furnace in the picture uses an air prove switch which detects the existence or lack of air flow through the draft and burner assembly. No air flow, no gas. TDD |

Outhouse Express just doesn't cut it. That link was perfectly clickable in my newsreader (Mozilla Thunderbird), as I suspect it is in 99% of other newsreaders apart from OE. Plus your messages still come though with everything below your replies (which are top-posted) as part of your sig, meaning they do not appear in the composition window when one replies to one of your messages. I know you've made excuses for this in the past, but clearly you're the odd man out here, not the rest of us. You might want to consider switching to something else. -- You were wrong, and I'm man enough to admit it. - a Usenet "apology" |

The days when one had to "protect" a URL from being munged or mangled by a brain-damaged news or mail client are, for the most part, over. (Well, except for those like Stormin who choose to use OE.)
