There are many pretend electricians around here and you will hear all sorts of things which may even make sense or sound true but it is someone you don't know who has an interpretation of the way things should be.
The only type of person to trust is someone who isn't afraid to backup what they claim with facts, pictures, and easily verifiable information. Items which can be verified through multiple sources.
We are talking about something which can burn down your house or business. When someone claims to have a training gig, or they know something because of something someone else taught them, bah, ask for a reference, but better yet, ask an electrician who actually has a license.
There are also electrician forums where those guys hang out and are happy to answer questions with references to back them up.
Be wary of someone who in an argument continues to claim they are right because they have previous experience in that area. To me, that is akin to claiming I am a fireman because I lived through a fire. Not quite the same is it?
I've obviously said things that have rubbed people in this forum [Like yourself] the wrong way. I apologize to you and anyone else in this forum I have rubbed the wrong way. As for advice on ANYTHING technical in these forums: You, or anyone else, should be quite relieved not to hear anymore from me about anything "technical" from this day forward. I leave that to you "professionals."
I apologized to dancer191 in PM's, deleted previous posts of mine to keep from trashing up this forum.
Everyone have a good day and may the blocks be with you!
dmwardjr I think your a class act and value your input on here.
I agree! We all get a bit passionate from time to time on these forums...but it's all good and even informative!
