I would really believe this is a gag if you hadn't already shown that
you have the mentality of a neocon.

Example?


I went on a quest.

Sheesh. OK, you're showing the same mentality by your blockheadedness
about the electricity.

I came up with "neocon" because of election hangover, and probably
confused names because of the frenzy.

So, sorry if I got the wrong guy, but upon reviewing the thread,
if it ain't a gag that you're really dragging out, in which case,
either congratulations or you should be ashamed of yourself, but
if not, then you're one of the most stubborn, blockheaded people
I've ever encountered, republican _or_ democrat!

Does this clear things up a bit?

Thanks,
Rich

Maybe I can explain. Paul is basically a moron when it comes to
electronics - real slow on the uptake, engineering math challenged,
Jerry's kid. He probably OP'd this thread without thinking of the
work required to move those f*cking electrons - the more you move in
a given time, the more power you consume. Goes back to mechanics and
horsepower. OTOH, he *is* a f*cking troll, basically, so you might
just ignore him. I sometimes look at the responses to him because
you never know when someone's gonna blast him (like you're getting
close to doing) and sometimes (not this time) it's good for a
chuckle. 'specially after a few good Long Islands :)

I use no current and they effectively supply no voltage. Why do I get
billed for electricity usage when I clearly can't have used any?


Because if you don't they'll turn off their non-voltage and
non-current and you won't like the difference (even though there isn't
any).


You're probably right. Sigh... I still think I'm a dumbass sucker,
though. But at least no one seems to agree with me on that.


They do on the dumbass part.

Not really. I'm neither republican nor democrat. I'm a Britlander so
those terms are inapplicable. My politics are actually quite
middle-of-the-road and moderate, actually. Not that we should be
discussing such things here, anyway.
HTH.

Well, I don't see how that could work, but I had considered digging a
trench around my boundary and thereby cutting off the return path for
the other users' behind my house and demanding payment from the power
co. to re-instate it. But then it's obvious the return current's only
going to go deeper underground or around my property. It seems there's
nothing I can do to make any dough out of this. :-(


Not sure, but somehwere it has to be stated that electric company MUST
provide an escape route for electrons they supllied to customers,
otherwise they will blow up your house in an eyeblink (assume you try
to steal their electrons). That's the only reason for the bill.

Well, I admit I got kinda confused when I went to google groups
and each time I spotted him chiming in on the election frenzy,
he was on the opposite side from the last time. ;-)

ID. ;-) This also explains my confusion when, while going through
google groups on author: Burridge I found way less political stuff
from you than I had had the impression that I had seen. Like, one
percent of what I had thought. :-)

So, sorry if I broke your game. )-;

Cheers!

No, a contraction.

I think he meant the ****raction, just as in "Good evening, ****stable,
I was not speeding at all."
