Re: [Phys-l] cooling hints

So evidently it's ok for a couple of you to throw insults at others but you can't seem to take the same things back.  Who else even wrote back to me this time or last time?....  no one else.  You have a thin skin, my friend.  I didn't say anything about right wing or left wing stuff (even though you know where I stand on that)... Read the post again... I'm insulting the whole crew which can't seem to get off the thread of silly posts about how you shouldn't let your pipes burst by keeping the heat on... Duh!    So, if it's not political rhetoric, then it's a day's worth of how you shouldn't turn off the heat with elaborate explanations which amount to common sense which I suppose a lot of PhD's seem to lack.   Some people here seem to know a lot of physics but lack the sense to know when they're discussing something that people already know and discussing it to death.

Then a big call to stop being politcal.

If people don't like that they can petition the list minitor to remove my access to the list.
