You mean "Let me guess....you're an engineer?"
that's what I was referring to. that's been said by at least 2 guys already
including Bubba.

Some guys tease you because they know you are an idiot. I don't know enough
about the trade to know you're an idiot for sure, but it sure sounds it.

I tease you because I enjoy it, and I am doing it just in fun, no malice
intended. Tease me back on something. hey, check out my name!

Anyway, I don't know what made Bob Loblaw mention your religion, but I do
agree with him. You mention your religion in every post and say stuff that
the experienced trades people think is stupid. That is not good.

Enjoy your evening Chris

CY: oh, that! Yeah, that's not original. Sorry about that.

Some guys tease you because they know you are an idiot. I don't know
enough
about the trade to know you're an idiot for sure, but it sure sounds
it.
CY: Well, hang around me for awhile and you'll find out after awhile.

I tease you because I enjoy it, and I am doing it just in fun, no
malice
intended. Tease me back on something. hey, check out my name!
CY: Thanks, I'll do that some day.

Anyway, I don't know what made Bob Loblaw mention your religion, but I
do
agree with him. You mention your religion in every post and say stuff
that
the experienced trades people think is stupid. That is not good.
CY: Only cause it's in my screen name. Can't remember mentioning my
religion in a long time on this group. OK, so the trade guys think I
say stupid stuff. Many times they flame the home owners, call em
names, and tell em to go call someone qualified. I havn't kept score,
but I'd have to guess that half to two thirds of the replies on this
group contain no useful information beyond "call a repairman". At
least I'm trying to answer their questions.

Enjoy your evening Chris
CY: Thanks. I'll keep you posted. Going out to visit some friends. One
elderly lady in the old age home, a friend and I visit her on a
regular basis.

You make similar decisions/tradeoffs when choosing between a pickup
truck with a 4 cylinder engine or an theoretically oversized 10
cylinder engine... some people like the short cycle, other don't,
regardless of the energy cost, it's whatever you prefer.
