Roger,

I understand the sarcasm and humor (congrats by the way Chili Champ [Linked Image] ) in your post, but I have to disagree with the suggestion or implication that the list is ambiguous and meaningless, when the reality is that the AHJ is very likely to be one of the people in that list, and if you need to find out, those would be the best places to start. The first list concerns public safety, so that would apply to most of us. If your intent was to say that inclusion in the list alone does not define the AHJ, then point made.

Bob, quite honestly I'm a little surprised that it's a moderator pushing this mood (and yes, heat) with subtle put downs and suggestion that you're the only one operating based on fact.

You may be right, your electrical inspector may be the AHJ, it is much more likely they are not.
What fact or statistic do you have to support that?

I agree, the first response to the OP was out of bounds and dealt with appropriately.
But since then it's been, "do yourself a favor, you might learn something, the solutions are obvious, It is very simple." And then a suggestion that everyone else here is willing to put their license on the line for this??

Your AHJ is wrong to let it slide and you are wrong for doing it. (Unless your area has an amendment.)
Then your argument cleverly moves form that being a misstatement to (paraphrase) "whoever is giving you permission probably isn't the AHJ anyway".

Don't get me wrong, I find you extremely knowledgeable, a great arguer and edgy at times which make for a great read.... I just can’t help but think there are some interesting points here being made that may be getting lost because you are coming across (at least on my screen) as being in attack mode. That’s fine, I’m just a little surprised seeing it from a moderator.
