| bryan | I think I am in the middle somewhere,but I want to say thanks to the people from tassabra who says he has a no knowledge (which we know cannot be true because he has all of us to help in anyway we can) To the people like Scott who has most all the answers, it takes us all to make this site go from good to great. Thanks again everybody. |

| SteveMc | Hi guys. I just found this site (directed by Bill's article http://ecmweb.com/mag/electric_mr_addiss_neighborhood/ ), and it looks like I see some familiar faces from another forum. Hats off to all the folks that make these forums work, they are an invaluable source of information. I have this one and a couple of others bookmarked and visit daily.

| Scott Vickrey | Thanks Steve and welcome to the site. As we populate the search engines with every topic It is becoming more and more possible to easily find the exact information you want when you want it. Message boards like this one are major contributers to the available information on the internet. Hats off to all their contributing members. |
| craig | Hello fellow sparkeys and non sparkeys. I have been sitting at home for the past couple of days, waiting for a job to be closed in. I felt guilty for not working, but now I don't because reading most of this forum has been very informative. Thanks to all Craig |
| Ryan_J | Steve: That sure is one good looking SOB in front of the panel in the link you provided!!! |
| cs409 | Tassabra is a lady Bryan,,,,not a he LOL.... now we have AA meetings huh!! |
| lctrc789 | For those of you who are interested, I am a master licensed electrician, have been since 1991. (Apprentice from 1979 to 1983) I have been in the field for 25 ears now and started out as a lineman for a local utility company and went from there . I do layouts and designs for a local contractor, estimating and still do service work when needed. I also have a small residential business that son and step son run service trucks. I have taught code classes, and have taken a lot of code classes through the years. I have been a part time electrical inspector for a while in a small town I lived in. I always think you are never to old to learn, and mnay of the older electricians never take a code class. They say OH they never change, or the old cliche well it was code when I was an apprentice LOL I like this site and it is informative and a lot of folks with some good knowledge. Thanks for letting me in and hope we cal all learn, and help each other. |

| Wirenutz | quote: really? I've been in the trade quite a while, and have grown rather jaded due to it's manipulation by sorts that have thier own agendas... I like what i do, yet i can see that our trades direction will be piloted by short sighted profiteers cloaked in guises of safety peddaling thier wares via fear This doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out either, for example all those free trade mags we relentlessly get are greased by whom? So now my Q to you is, where do you stand when such issues are brought to light? ~W~ |
| JimmyDee | quote: I've read this post over 4-5 times and I'm having a hard time figuring out what you are trying to say. I know what Scott is saying that if a person is looking into becoming an electrician, he or she is welcome here even if they know nothing about the trade. This, of course, is they are not trying to do a DIY job and want detailed instructions to do the job. quote: I think this fairly well sums up what he means by his statement that no one is excluded. I think it is clear that we will, if we know the answer, give feed back to the most unlearned in the electrical trade without prejudice or putting them down for not having as much knowledge as "us that have arrived to the pinnacle of electrical knowledge" .

| Wirenutz | quote: well Jimmy, there's alot more that moves our trade along than the technical aspects, the politics inclusive has grown exponetially.... most of it appears to be self serving at times, beuracracy initself is a living isn't it? pointing these issues out becomes a hot potato doesn't it? what is so unclear about this? ~W~ |
| Wirenutz | in other words 'excluded' right Jim ? |
| JimmyDee | quote: Right now I don't have a clue what the heck you are talking about so I can't make any decision but keep in mind that any decision made is Scott V's to make, not mine. Jim |
