It was hard to tell, but that was me. Doing too many things at once.

It's hard for me to tell what he's talking about too, because I never
said don't listen to anyone else, or the internet. In fact, I provided
several internet links to useful information and even asked for links
to information that said otherwise.

From what I can see, you implied that what worked for me actually did NOT
work.

What I said was opening all the faucets and then just turning off the
main valve without draining the water from the system was not the
correct and accepted way to winterize a house subjected to freezing
temps. And I provided supporting links. Could someone do it that
way and not have the pipes burst? Sure. The pipes also may not have
burst had you done nothing. Or you could now have a weakened pipe
with a bulge somewhere in a wall.

Could someone not change their engine oil for 50K miles and still have
it work OK? Or could someone live in a house with an incorrectly
vented gas heater and not die of CO? Sure, but does that doesn't make
it an OK and acceptable practice.
