Joraz, is there an issue with your fridge that makes you think you may have a problem after nearly 20 years?

I wonder if those driving the model T thought about seat belts the same way? How much money can you place on a safety feature that may or may not ever be needed?

Ah c'mon, I'm trying to find out if a fridge that is nearly 20 years old is still working well. If it is then maybe this gadget isn't as necessary to keep an eye on things as it would appear. I agree that it does appear to be a worthwhile thing, but fridge fires seem to be fairly uncommon and perhaps they are caused by certain design shortcomings that do not exist in all units.

And no the people driving Model T's weren't thinking about seat belts too much because it wasn't much of an issue when the speeds were lower, and traffic congestion was much less. Pretty poor analogy. I think a better analogy might have been the carbon monoxide detector. It has saved lives, but not that necessary much of the time.
