Being a new member I am sure that the proper protocol to follow on replies I may make is sure to suffer some, but I do know there is a bit of confusion on my part by the following, does exist since the two statements taken at face value seem to conflict a bit in some areas.
1. HVAC Pros, please note; home owners are welcome to ask questions here, if you do not wish to be helpful that is fine but do not intimidate, obstruct or criticize those that wish to be more helpful than you. If you do not like a particular thread or topic, do not reply.
2. Do-It-Yourselfers - not here.
This site is for industry professionals and folks seeking HVAC/R advice and knowledge. Please do not ask for step by step instructions on purchasing, installing or repairing your own HVAC equipment, that is our job and our livelihood. We are generous, but not to a fault.
I will use the step-by-step statement in 2. as a guide here.

>>>edit... you missed # 2 Title... "Do-It-Yourselfers - not here."
Please see my post below, Thanks.

Hey Tulsa..go sit in the truck!
tulsatwisters...
Unfortunately, due to site rules we as members can not discuss technical issues with the general public.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Actually I did not miss #2 as copied below, I read #2 and quoted the part that was relevant to my reply.
Nor did I violate #2 by offering any step-by-step instructions or any instructions period on making a do it yourself repair.

At no point in my post including the part that was edited did I offer
"As you state above (step by step instructions)
I only stated the POSSIABLE cause for the fault. I never stated it was the fault, nor did I offer ANY instruction on repairing the fault. I also stated that a licensed professional should locate and repair the actual problem.
I do not mean this to be argumentative or confrontational in anyway, nor is my intention to cause problems by violating any of the rules, but even in re-reading #2 as you put into my edited post and as I stated above, I did not violate the rule.
As to your follow up, most post on this site are of a technical nature and reading several of the posts it appears technical information is being given in one form or another to the general public.
Hence my continued confusion on some of the rules as stated on this website. That being said, it was my intention and still is to cooperate with the rules of this site.
As a side note, the post referring to me by coolwhip who has by the way 2,881 posts, would seem by my reading of the rules to be a violation of those rules. I am waiting to see if any editing of that post takes place.

Hey tulsa.. I wouldn't argue to much more with Jultzya.
Wow! I was just pointing out that I DID NOT give any instructions on how to make a repair any repair.
I did say that a TECHNICIAN might look at a specific part first and only (only) named the part (which part by the way is still named on this thread and not edited).
I did not indicate it was that part that had failed or how to check the part or how to replace the part. I clearly stated a professional contractor needed to check the problem out for proper diagnosis.
I was only pointing out that since I did not say how to check the part for failure or how to replace the part and only stated a technical might check that part out. That in my opinion did not violate the rule of giving step-by-step instructions in any way.
Second thing I want to clear up is the quote I was speaking of was from coolwhip, Here is the quote:
[QUOTE]Originally posted by coolwhip

In fact he repeated the quote, which in reading the rules is defiantly could be considered a (and I quote from the rules here) smart-ass remark. If anything in this thread violated the rules that did.
If a moderator thinks I have violated the rules, I am not going to get rude about it or want to continue on arguing the point. Other than what I thought was a polite response to the editing of my post, I did not post anymore and let the matter drop. Now I see several more posts beating me up some more on a post, which in my opinion should not have been edited in the first place.
Thus I am responding one more time, and trying not to be rude or a pain in doing so, I will post no more in the thread no matter what is said to me or about me in it. This post is clear and should clear up any misunderstandings made in my follow up post and is the end as far as I am concerned, since I do not want to become a nuisance to any of the moderators and I hope the one last follow up post does not qualify as such.
I have several posts in different threads all polite and none causing any problems (read them if you wish). My intention is to continue on being polite and friendly in every way possible.
I feel that everyone has a right to try and clear up any misunderstandings and as long as they are polite about it, should not be banned for it.
If my previous post on this thread upset anyone I apologize for it and if this post upsets anyone I am sorry and apologize for it as well.

Can I get a list of all your customers so that I may call them and tell them what might be wrong with their furnace before you go and fix it? NO you say? I thought not. You need to think a little bit before you go spouting off. Some of us do still try and make a living in this trade. In the future, diagnostics and parts can be discussed in the technical section. All good things!
sorry i said to much my point was without being there who knows thought they would get the hint to call a pro......... wow how do you know who is really a tech and who isnt???? Maybe we should register our EPA card ###ss???????
Dont be sorry, just think before you leap. When you offer technical information, you just might be taking food out of ones mouth...including yours.
