Roger:
When discussing the National Electrical Code and the way in which it is interpreted in this country, I would expect that those who have the time to write such a detailed personal opinion about what they read here, would do so with some knowledge of the code making system here in this country.
My questions were not grasping for straws, they were posted to the writer just to level the playing field a bit.
I would ask the same of anyone who responded to the threads here with their personal opinions, especially this one!
