for those who think i overreacted, that's because instead of answering the question one of the member was telling me that I don't understand the concept of a thermostat and have it figured wrong.
If I should just say "thanks" to that and agree I have no idea of what a thermostat is, then sure.
let me just do that. based upon that i probably shouldnt even have asked this question...
thanks to those who actually did reply technically to a technical question. much appreciated !
