The correct response would be "thanks for the info" and not tell me I can't read

because then I come back and say something like this...

do you use the furnace in your house without a thermostat, do you use a space heater without a thermostat, does your car not use a thermostat, does your heated bed accessories not use a thermostat, ect... common knowledge, whether your new to reptiles or not

also im sure you read the caresheet which has this to say...

A reliable thermostat (Johnson Control, Ranco, Herpstat or Helix) is best, but an inexpensive rheostat (dimmer switch) purchased from the hardware store can work as well.
I like to have the last word also
