That is interesting, that the'99 wording was changed in the'02 for distinguishing the color coding of ungrounded conductors - I wonder why sometimes a good thing has to be changed.
Back to the topic: Making fun of the pictures is fun, but it hides the fact that there are big problems out there. It has become almost epidemic in proportion how much of this type of wiring is going on today. It is a sad state that the almighty $ and lack of education has brought our society to a dangerous level of safety to save a buck. Even worse is these people (both the installer and the cheap customer) have put the good electrician's name in bad light. What I mean by that is whenever there is a fire these days, the first question is "was it started by electric". Like Joe Tedesco has stated, SOME HOW WE NEED TO CLEAN THIS UP!!!!!
I know it shouldn't, but this kind of stuff is really starting to make me sick.
