I kind of doubt a hand full of hobbyists utilizing dim bulb testers is going to create a national energy crisis. Sometimes it doesn't make practical sense to utilize modern technology to replace something so simple that's been working reliably for decades, which is why most of us still utilize wheels to get from point a to b. Technology isn't bad in itself so much as are often the motivations behind marketing it to the masses.

I agree I think he was overreacting when he posted his comment in my TV repair thread.

And at this point now I think your overreacting , the Man made his comment , you responded to it , it's now time to do like Elsa and "Let it go" ....

That is , unless of course your looking for an internet dustup , in which case by all means continue . Just remember the guy Levi ("CaptainClock") who posted very suspiciously like you do got banned here for the very same thing , not knowing when to walk away from what is really a pretty minor issue in the grand scheme of life

I'm not trying to start anything or keep anything going, I just find it frustrating that the OP of this thread decided that he would make it his life's goal to try and convince people on here (on my thread of all places) that dim-bulb testers are somehow bad for the environment.

Which if he wanted to do that, should of just started his own thread elsewhere in the forum to discuss that topic rather than spamming my thread with his topic.

And on that note I'm going to stop while I'm still ahead.
