Heh.
Nobody's being silly. You referred to a window contact as a magnet. It's
not. The magnet is what activates the contact. Everyone knew what you meant,
and most just overlook your clumsy grasp of the nomenclature since you are a
novice. Crash pointed out your mistake, in a good natured way IMO. Now you
come off like you were absolutely correct, and go right for the "it's not
rocket science" crap. You obviously still believe that a switch is a magnet,
or visa-versa, proving that you don't know what the fuck you're doing. Or
maybe you can explain to us dummies how you can "make a magnet act like a
switch in a series circuit".
