ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Arrogance at ECN?

CT:
I am short on time at the moment, but I had to e-mail the gentlemen who made the "arrogant" comment. It will be interesting to see if I get a reply here or in my e-mail
Got to go...

Arrogance? I don't think so......

I've arrived on ECN a little over 15 months ago as a British engineer who had spent time in America and knew only a little about American wiring practices and the NEC.

I asked plenty of questions, many of which might have had obvious answers to those who grew-up with the NEC and U.S. wiring, yet everyone here was willing to take the time to explain things to a foreigner. In my time at ECN I have learned much about the NEC and general U.S. practices.

I know that in return many of you who have been interested in how things are done elsewhere have put a fair amount of time in reading my rambling about U.K. wiring and practices, and some of the discussions which have arisen from our differences have been most enlightening to all concerned.

I hardly think that the friendship and attitudes I've encountered on ECN could in any way be called arrogant.

Arrogence? here on ECN ?

No way.

I am the same as Pauluk, British electrician still working in Britain, but we cant have it all can we.

Having commented on numerous threads within this BB it is always a very enlightening place to visit.

I dont care, personally, what other sites do , as a member I am happy to be here and thankful the other members accept me for what i am and dont ridicule me for lack of knowledge within the NEC or your wiring practices, ( i am getting ther, honest )

There is, in my mind only one ECN that is this one.

Any one want my Soap box now.

Proud to be an electrician. !!

Anyone who calls this crew arrogant hasn't hung in long enough to realize he is speaking out of ignorance!

Y'all let me in, that might count for something other than arrogance!

I've only been here a month or so, and have seen nothing of the sort.

All the members here are kind and more than willing to help others by sharing thier knowledge.

I enjoy learning from those (many here) that have 10-20 fold years experience more than I.

ECN is uneqaled by any I've seen.

Thanks to all here.
