   It seems everyone says we need to turn the rhetoric down but then do little   
   about it. I also note    
   that some of you are very intelligent people electrically. I would don't want   
   to not receive advice electronically from you. So if i did block you then I   
   would miss your experience and knowledge. That's disappointing.

   politics. We need the    
   breaks of pastimes to calm our nerves.

   Yup... I guess it was really my fault.  (I gave DT the +1 for    
   reversing the ban on incandescents.)
