I agree with Sparky. This is one of the few boards where everyone respects each other and doesn't take every little opportunity to turn each post into either a rant for/against something or a version of IM that none of the other posters care to bother with.
I can always tell on those "other boards" when there's no point in opening a thread because it's on its 3rd or 4th page. By then the original question has either been answered, forgotten, or the thread has turned into a name-calling 'good ole boy' posting.
I think a large measure of credit should to the moderators...who tirelessly hunt down posts that are out of line and nip problems in the bud. Many thanks...to all.
I agree with the international flair. We got sparkies form England, New Zeeland, Germany, France, Canada and others that I have missed. Do not forget the great melting pot of the U.S. I think every state is represented here too.
We have a wide varity of professionals of the electrical trade all sharing their 2 cents worth on the various topics. I like it here. Someone just needs to figure out how to serve doughnuts here.
