I'm definitely not trying to start any arguments here, pop. In fact,
I'm trying to uphold my own set of web ethics, which includes thanking
people promtply for offering help, so as to positively reinforce their
sharing of expertise with others over the web. I'm also trying to be
honest with people about the value of their contributions when I
believe they aren't helpful, but I'm not trying to be brutal, and I'm
not trying to create or harbor any grudges. The term "troll" is new to
me, but I may very well have been one at times elsewhere on the web -
but I'm not sure - I have to read the definition first! I've never
posted anything on this forum until a few days ago, and my furnace
really is busted. I'm very grateful for the information I've received
so far. I haven't fixed my furnace yet for budgeting reasons, but it
looks like I'll be callling a repairman early next week, unless I'm
very confident I can do it myself.
In the meantime, I'm all ears. I want to at least surprise the
repairman a bit by knowing something about his work. and no, I DON'T
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE USE OF A VOM, UNLESS a VOM is a volt meter, in
which case I have one, and I test my batteries with it all the time.
And I used it once when I changed out some electrical outlets for GFCI
outlets in my bathroom. What more information about the furnace can I
supply? I'm happy to do this.
