I have no plumbing experience and like Sedin26 I too read this forum daily and find it to be an fantastic source of reliable and accurate information. I came here because I don't know a single thing about plumbing and the plumbers and others on this site are ready and willing to give help and advice for free. I suspect that you came here initally because of your own lack of plumbing experience but now you just seem to be looking for an argument. You seem to forget that you were the one who came looking for advice, and now that that advice doesn't sit well with you, you've decided to take an combative stance to those who are trying to help.
One thing you seem to not understand is that the plumbers on this forum are trying to tell you how to do something properly, in a way that will cause the least number of problems down the road. There may be lots of way to do a certain thing, but not all of them lead to the same desired results. Maybe what you do will work, and maybe it will fail in a week, month, or a year but at least the plumbers here are trying to advise you on a system that is PROVEN and reliable. If you don't like what you hear, then stay silent. Why bother to argue with people whose daily job is plumbing to code? Don't you have anything better to do? I myself have been told that some of my plumbing efforts aren't exactly how they would do it but I don't find the need to argue with their years of experience.
Bottom line, if you want someones advice, take it gracefully even if you don't agree. If you don't like being told that you are wrong then don't ask questions on a forum like this where you'll find honest answers from professionals.
I for one would like to thank Terry, the pros, and the DIY enthusiast on this forum for all the help they give to the modest homeowner.
