"GJ that is for sizing the box when using cables no raceways"

Was the wording changed from '99 to the '02 code? I'm sure that the AHJ here in Nebraska was allowing boxes sized on conductor size a while back.

The Nebraska inspector must be a cousin of the one that sizes pull boxes based on the cubic inch formula. There are inspectors out there that are human and don't know everything about the NEC. I have been in the trade almost 23 years and believe it or not I still learn something new about the code on an almost daily basis. Lately a good bit of that is thanks to you guys here at ECN.
