With 2000 Big Boxes and counting, this problem is not going away any time soon.
What irks me is the notion that Internet Advice + Supplies/advice from Big Box + How-to Book/TV show = Instant Electrician.
Yet, to become a journeyman in my state requires 8000 hours of OJT plus 150 hours of class time per year for 4 years.
So, with that in mind,
How can DIYers be expected to do wiring properly and safely?
Not many.
DIYers will always be able to find enough information to be dangerous, be it from a book or the internet.
I, for one, will not remain silent in my objections to unqualified/untrained people doing electrical work.
