Fish: Re: [tropical fish club] Glass Heaters

Hmmm, come on now brother. Why does it have to be a matter or stupidity
and nothing else? Why can't it simply be an accident? Like forgetting to
unplug the heater when doing a water change and exposing the heating portion
of the equipment? Everyone here is above forgetfulness? What about not
even being aware there was a problem with plugging it in and THEN submerging
it? Maybe others are of the same impression as Dawn that the heater can
only be at the temperature it's set at?

I think it's a bit harsh to label anyone that commits and easily made
mistake as stupid or dumb.

Besides, the glue on the back of stamps/envelopes didn't work out too well
for Susan on Seinfeld. With regards to gum, choking certainly is hazardous
to life. ;)

Thanks,
JP

Please tell me , who would be so dumb (stupid) as to work with a glass
heater that is plugged in to the outlet and turned on
to 80 degrees and then put it into a tank of cold water or a fish tank
???????? Come on now !

If that is all the credit for "smarts" to some in this hobby....????
Well they had better take up something that they can not get hurt on...
Like stamp collecting , or bubble gum chewing.
