Complaining about the cost of the advice you got?

        What you should see is a group of people fucking well sick of
people asking 'how do I hook up my thermostat' here, when, if they're
that fucking clueless, and too fucking lazy to Google it for the other
10,000 times it's been asked here and elsewhere, they could AT LEAST
figure out to post in alt.home.repair, not here.

If you're so sick of it, then why are you still typing? And why did
you bother to answer in the first place, with the wrong answer (I
bought a heat only thermostat)?

I did Google for a while. Nowhere could I find an explanation of why a
heat-only thermostat would have a Y connection.

        Because I was mocking you.

        You didn't ask Y, I guess.
