The main problem is that alt.hvac is just a social club for pathetic,
paranoid union types to get their jollies attacking anyone who asks a
question. The fact that their "profession" is heavily infested with the
incompetent, barely competent and outright crooks should be what they're
attacking if they were truly the competent ones, but they're too stupid
to realize that they are their own worst enemy.
