A well informed individual may do what they think is best for themselves or clients.. if they are a ding-bat, they wouldn't understand what we're talking about anyway.

I told someone I do not do it often and that I did not recommend them doing it due to a scorched outlet and they choose to anyway.

Surprise, Fire shot out of the outlet.

I voted no cause the ones that do, I assume they know what they are doing.

Don't Care- Well I care if someone does and shouldn't. It is not a recommended practice to start flipping when you don't know what is flippin.
