    Yikes, you are making it personal, not me. I made no reference to you personally and specifically referenced the hearsay. I consider truth important and yes I'm opposed to untruths and half-truths. Because the untruths and half-truths floating around obscure what is true AND truly...

    Thanks for the hearsay. Even more damaging than any election is the perpetuation of fake news. Can you any attribution of any kind? Snopes does not even have it listed.

    Which might make you think Askey private labeled an Asus and resold it to Tmo. It is not available through the Askey website so it might be a one off. Either way glad to see we are getting what we think we are getting.

    Sump pumps which don't need water cooling

    It is much more difficult and expensive to stop the flow of water then to redirect the flow of water. This might be the place for the French drain. You may use your natural water table as a guide to the depth. It is fruitless to go below it.
