Re: mum's the word on howto tweak smoke detector

["Jen...tel" <poleclimber@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think it has something to due with the life expectancy of smoke
detectors.  I read 10 years is max.  But I really think it has more to
do with cost, they are not expensive so why save a few pennies over ten
years by reusing junk?  Do you strain your engine oil to get another
20,000 miles out of it?  Do you rip off and keep the unused areas of
the toilet paper so you can get all you can out of it?  Do you rifle
through the dumpster looking for uneaten meat from restaurants?  Do you
wash out the condems thinking that saves you money?  Boy, some people
are just CHEAP!
