While I agree with you in principle David, at times there are good 
reasons to own and use a dryer.

I had a unit in Sydney and found that clothes hung on the communal line 
to dry went missing - so I had to get a dryer.

On moving to the country though, I gave it away to a friend who needed 
lots of nappies washed and dried even when it rained!
