I've heard it all before. You are all wrong. I am right. End of.
That's probably about it. After so many runs of this discussion over the years, I think I fully understand your views and position, hence the only approach which you feel is right for you, and with which you feel comfortable - so there is no need or point in further discussion/debate. I fully respect your right to have that view and, indeed, can but praise the strength which which you uphold principles in which you clearly sincerely believe.
You are right, and everyone else wrong, only in terms of your own views about the matter - and that's fine. However, that does not mean that everyone else holds the same views. Even you presumably don't believe that you are the ultimate determinant of what is right and wrong. In any event, the whole discussion centres around the fact that, for many of us, the decisions cannot be reduced to a black-and-white 'right and wrong' - in the real world, one often has to decide between 'better' and 'worse'.
It is perhaps unfortunate that this discussion is happening, this time, in the context of this particular thread since, as I have said, the situation is so extreme that I personally would not feel comfortable 'becoming involved' in giving specific advice on a pragmatic basis - so, in this particular case, I'm essentially taking the same position as you, in not feeling it appropriate for me to give any advice other than "don't attempt to do it yourself" and "get an electrician". However, in relation to many other threads, my view that the giving of advice is sometimes, pragmatically, the lesser of evils will always differ from your view and approach.
However, no matter what advice you feel you have to give, as ekmdgrf has said, and as so many of us have previously said, so many times, over the years, I am sure that if only you could find a way of changing your 'style' your advice (even your 'best advice') would be much more likely to be heeded, at least in some cases. As things are, your style so often works against the achieving of the very things which you are trying to achieve - which I think is a great pity.
Kind Regards, John
