I was not recommending ditching the netting - I was recommending a Fronkey bottom-entry bugnet (which is independent). I've been using the Fronkey bugnet for about six years and consider it more effective than zippered bugnets (every time I enter a zippered bugnet, a host of mosquitoes enter with me). I've never had a mosquito in my Fronkey bugnet.
Here in the Northeast, I only use a bugnet about three months of the year (June, July, August). Mosquitoes become lethargic at 60* F, and downright immobile at 50* F. I've personally found a 60* F low to be safe for sleeping (and I'm a mosquito magnet).
