It's obviously a pain in the ass. I'd remove the load from the attic unit and pigtail it onto the line to prevent future mishaps, just be sure it's not tied to any non gfci outlets that do need to be protected
Yes, and some of them (such as the one at
We're sorry, but the nine copies of your post are insufficient :-) Continue to post it at least 32 times, and then you may get a response.
He should first measure the voltage between hot and ground or he may burn out his continuity tester, and may knock himself off the ladder when the thing gives a big spark.
Unless he is positive he knows which wire is supposed to be the neutral, he should also have tested for voltage between the "neutral" and ground also before he used a continuity tester between the two. Same reason.
There is no voltage. The circuit is dead
For safety, turn off the breaker anyway.
The hot wire is dead or the neutral is open, but he hasn't checked that both of these things are true.
You apparently don't have a clue about software. Using the Google Groups web interface, I clicked on send and it came back saying the post was not successful due to a server problem and I should try later. I tried a few more times over a period of two hours with the same result. Today I came in and tried once more and was successful with a single click. I hope the multiple posts haven't caused you too much stress. I'd hate to think that you need counseling now.
since you don't know any better. Now you do.
And you didn't even READ the group for awhile to see if it went through.
Also, Google is good for searching for things. It's NOT that good for posting. How about getting a real newsreader / server account?

Who do you suggest as the newsserver, though???
Many large ISPs offer that as part of their service. Check with yours.

See if your ISP provides one. Many do, and it's free. Look on the ISP's website for information.
The server name is often something like:
news..net
where is your ISP's name, same as in email servers. "net" may be "com" in your case.
Note that newsgroups is a much older use of the internet than the world wide web is.
He was kidding you. It was not hilarious, but it was funny.
He even put in a smiley, which I don't even think was necessary. It was obviously a joke. Learn to take a joke.
BTW, it is much easier to read Usenet directly. Besides the other one recommended, Agent can be used in free and paid mode. You may already have newsgroups on the ISP you use, or you can subscribe using any ISP for about 10 dollars a year iirc.

Kewl...thanks...
Well, there are lots of them around, most at fairly modest cost -- and in conjunction with decent news client software, any of them provides an interface to Usenet that's *much* easier to use than Google's.
Well, DOH!!!! Why didn't I think of that? :(
