First it was the idiot who wanted to encase his freezer in thick foam insulation and operate it in a kitchen kept at barely above freezing temperature.

Can't people accept the fact that an appliance takes energy to operate it, and in the case of freezers and refrigerators that there is some energy lost when it's opened?
Usually people select an appliance on usage factors and consideration of its energy consumption. Given that they made a specific choice, they must have a great deal of time on their hands to worry about relatively insiginificant issues as this.
