   Because he is damaging the UPS, not helping it.  UPSes are NOT DESIGNED TO   
   BE CONSTANTLY TURNED OFF (emphasis, not yelling).  They are designed to be   
   left on for the entirety of their useful life.  If one can't understand the   
   reasoning and use of an UPS, perhaps you shouldn't be using one and wasting   
   your money.
