    Why be sarcastic and unpleasant. I wasn’t sarcastic or unpleasant to you.

    As far as I recall, you agreed that leaving the heating off was more cost effective.

    I didn’t claim that my answer was definitive, It was merely an attempt to provide a simple example to aid the OP.

    If you don’t like my posts, you are not compelled to read them. :)

    You were somewhat condescending towards me, and others. Hence my returning the favour. :)

    Leif, it's my turn to advise you that it is time to leave it ;)

    There's a quote from the classic film Cool Hand Luke, and also sampled on a Guns & Roses album;

    to cut it short "there's some fellas you just can't reach", oh, I should add, it starts;
    "wwwhat we got here is ..... failure to communicate"

    It often springs to mind ;)

    Well maybe, but his/her condescending "I know all you don't" manner annoys me. But, I take the point, it is time to let sleeping dogs lie. Errr ... not sure that is the best phrase to use ... you know what I mean ...

    I am also reminded of a quote.

    "There are non so blind as those who will not see."

    I wasn't aware of that and it certainly wasn't intentional.

    The first adverse comment was not from me.
    OMG you really don't want me to answer that completely stupid statement, do you ?.
    There are subtler ways of disagreeing with someone aren't there? :rotfl:

    All I have tried to do is to assist the OP by simplifying a complex issue. I spent a fair bit of time and effort thinking how I could best do that.

    If you see that as being condescending then we must agree to disagree.

    Perhaps the OP and some others might value my efforts even if you and others don't. :)

    Such is life and such is MSE.

    Personally I prefer the Big Bang Burger Bar to Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

    You get a better class of clientele there and I prefer to look forwards rather than backwards.

    I'm keeping my house warm with all the energy from your huffing and puffing. :p


    Seriously, the thread is only kept alive for you when you read it or you post in it.

    Just stop reading and posting if it bothers you.

    I won't be offended. :)
