Re: GE Microwave popping and crackling

Mr. Sweet
Thank you for your positive input on my original post. I'm a beginning
repair technician and any help in clarifying my misunderstanding is
appreciated.(Mr. Sweet)
(others)
I have a CET and just because I don't know all the jargon as of yet does
not mean I don't have feelings. For the one who stated "troll" a simple
saying to me like "to much side talk just the problem would be fine" : this
would had been more professional don't you think!

I do already read through the repair FAQ's and quit frequently I should
state. It is very well in-depth.
It is also a start home page on one of my many computers.

(question to anyone)
For this troll thing is this just a polite way of saying "screw off, your
not part of the click so we're not going to help you with your legit
problem"
I look forward to coming to this news group reading a lot, I mean a lot of
these post.
I am very offended by their "troll" statement so whats up with that?

Happy 4th to everyone...
Mike L.
