That's about the only thing I recognized as correct in Dave's spew.  He
is right about that, if you are in any kind of normal U.S.A. housing.

And for me too, I think.  :)

Mostly you can ignore Dave's prickly edges.  He does have some good info
now and again, but likes to bury it beneath his superiority complex
(which most often manifests as intolerance and excessively harsh
personal comments).  But don't judge him too harshly, he is old and
suffers poor health.
