electure,
I was speaking in reference to my earlier post that said "if I was an inspector...".
As far as the interpretation, I am looking at the words in the code as well as the comments in the ROP and ROC. The CMP has "screwed up" here. The words used say we can only use listed means and therefore standard screws are a violation. This section needs a revision to make it enforceable. The sheet metal wording was never needed in 250.8 as sheet metal screws are not a listed means of connection. I will be submitting a proposal for the 05 code.
