Most people come for the good info and advise not to help homeowners fix there systems and screw there contractor, and the homeowner in some way gets there money back through a service they provide. I come here because I'd say 90% of these guys are way smarter than me so I just read what they say and learn, also it's pretty hard to hold a hvac conversation with my wife. I show her a picture of my work and all I get is " ah ok?"

Buz, welcome and good to make your acquaintenance. Doc is not my real first name. Nor is havoc my real last name. If this thread was in the Pro's section, locked away from the prying public eye, I would tell you my real name is Torry Jeranek. Crap, now its on the world wide web. All kidding aside (that is my real name though), I think many on here use a screen name to avoid potential conflict at their place of work, with irate customers, or because they are listed in their local phone book and don't want every Tom, Dick and Harry calling them at home because they saw their name on this forum, instead of contacting through the company they work for. I'm sure there's other reasons as well (witness protection?).

That thread is in the general discussion forum. It was not moved to the pro forums, or you wouldn't be able to see it anymore.

Some Pro members may wish to keep their business strategy out of the public eye.

Moved to General Discussion Forum.

Just my first name : )

I think you sort of answered your own question here.....

Advice we do offer via vetted Pro's in the AOP sections to the Home/Business owner "Step by Step DIY" we do not, never have, never will offer.

This sites primary purpose is to serve the professionals in the HVAC industry and IMO it does well in that regard, however as stated that is in the pro sections of the site, out of the eyes of Google and your customer.

General questions that does not endanger anyone or their equipment are allowed in the open sections of the site, should the detail get to detailed then we have a choice, close it or move it.

Simple as mud right?
