Reply #35: Subtlety doesn't work with you, does it?

1. This one incident is likely to be *FAR LESS EXPENSIVE*
for Con-Ed than ripping up and replacing all of the
existing steam lines that they own.

2. You obviously didn't take my (slighgtly oblique) point
so let me make it more blunt: You're calling on Con-Ed to
replace miles of piping based on damned little evidence,
so I wondered if you've replaced all the wiring in your
house based on the same scant evidence (perhaps a switch
or two has failed or an outlet no longer holds plugs as
tightly as it once did?).
