Bob,

I once found a kitchen stove exaust fan that had been wired on a GFI. Sometimes
when the fan was turned off the GFI would trip. I guessed that the fan spinning
down acted at a voltage source for a few miliseconds which tripped the GFI. The
same thing might be happening with the fridge. Generally you do NOT wire a
fridge or any critical loads through GFI's for this reason.

It's now clear Mr. Bush intends to run a campaign based on fear. And for me, at
least, it's working: thinking about what these people will do if they solidify
their grip on power makes me very, very afraid.


If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.
