Well, I haven't, and it wasn't difficult. All I did to get good life
out of my batteries was follow the advice I learned early on, and
which I now pass along to others - buy the best batteries one can
afford, and maintain them sensibly. Apparently you decided to take a
different approach. Tough luck. The sensible advice now is for you to
accept reality. It's gratifying to see that you're going your own way
once more, because making the same mistake over and over is my
personal theory on what makes a nitwit. And it couldn't have happened
to a nicer guy!

Only a Rube would use batteries with a 3-5 year warranty, for an Off
Grid Application.... what a Moroooon.... (Bugs Bunny Definition)

I'd like to suggest that this newsgroup be renamed to:
alt.energy.homepower.pointless-arguments
since there seem to be a number of people that haven't (yet) simply
learned to ignore each other in favor of discussing actual home power
topics. Over half of the alleged postings over the last few days have
been back-and-forth arguments that look more like a couple of 5-year-olds
pointing fingers than actual reasoned and informative discussion.
Either that, or ONE of the parties is going to have to show the maturity
and good judgement to simply refrain from responding to the others
taunts.

Absolutely proves your own point with your own post.
Wayne (God) has been poluting this group with his mental issues for many
years. You or I aren't going to stop it.
George has to stop making him look ridiculous before the end will be seen.
Of course Wayne (God) will only come back in another nickname. He uses many
in various groups and here.

How about you learn to use a Killfile... and let us folks who have been
reading, and contributing, this newsgroup for a decade or more, continue
on without your non-relevant comments.... We would appreciate it.....
