Interesting topic goin on here... To address Trumpy's post, I too like to sit back and glean the vast knowledge of the fine folks here, and I do learn alot. I even throw out a few "stir the pot" posts now and then (shared neutrals, anyone?
) but overall I try to only contribute when I have something meaningful to add.
As for this topic in general, it's not just electricians. Projectionists and especially cinema service techs have a very close-minded attitude when it comes to expanding their knowledge. Most are happy to just sit back and do nothing while changes happen around them. And there are really no young bucks eager to enter either trade, and I am one of the last of a dying breed. It's depressing, really.
But thankfully we all have this great site to keep on learning more...and it'll be a big help when I have to switch back to being an electrician full-time.
