Obviously selective reading drives you at times like this. Of course anything that disagrees with your worldview seems an insult to you. But do carry on.

And you can easily get that with a modern wood-burning stove. Not everybody has them, though because of all the preexisting units in use for decades. It will be a very long time before those are all replaced. Eric Lucas

It's really kind of amusing to hear the metaphors that people in this type of discussion use for foisting our views onto other people: "injecting", "...peg in a ... hole". No wonder half of the Republican part is suddenly coming out of the closet. Bush used to say things about "spreading democracy over people", as if it were peanut butter, and they were nothing but pieces of toast. Eric Lucas

CCA (chromated copper arsenic) pressure treated lumber normally used for ground contact, decks and such. Anyone caught burning it should be forced to emigrate to Europe. -- Keith |
