This is a very distrubing idea that may cause widespread reaction in Italy with the large amount of savers. I cannot see the logic behind it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21814325
Can a Ground Source Heat pump be used to feed rariators or is the temperature too low and only useful for underfloor heating?
Thanks a lot

Hi Badger So how much electricity do you use all year? Do you have a breakdown of electricity used for the GSHP? THanks
At the end of the day I believe that it is all about the stated (or implied) purpose of the forum/community. Realistically no-one can argue that this forum was created to have people slag each other and Italy offcreate. That would have a negative impact on the Italy Magbrand. Obviously not everything is perfect in Italy and the discussions of problems and issues can be very helpful. Can this be done in a positive, polite way? Obviously yes La Dolcevita I suppose it can be difficult to differentiate between Doom and Gloom and Having said that though I believe that a negative attitude serves no purpose. Esme I have to disagree with you. The infighting and huge amounts of moderation that the old forum needed were a direct I must admit I have never understood the calling a spade a spade argument. I have never met anyone who reacts positively to aggression or rudeness and it is very difficult to see how you can change a person’s point of view without being diplomatic. As soon as people believe that they are under attack they stop listening and start defending from their trenches. I also don’t bye the idea that without controversy the forum will die. The forum has a purpose; to share information about Italy. There are so many other forums geared toward people who want controversy or conflict. I would really question the idea that conflict is vibrant. flyingveepixie is a case in point. Most people do not like conflict and will leave when it ossurs. Flip I would just say be carefull what sites you visit. You will not believe the amount of information malicious people can find out about you on the internet. All in all I am still at a loss to work out what triggers the flare ups every now and then. !! Who knows?
Thanks to everyone for the messages. Most helpful
I am really enjoying it as well.
Are you sure it is not just a technical issue? I don't think anyone moderates here anymore
