I generally try to disregard spelling errors, but not this time.Kids: I I Captain.
Forgive my skepticism, but I find that assertion surprising, and I tend to doubt that you are right. But regardless of what the law has to say, or not say, anybody can sue anybody else for any reason, with our without just cause, and the person getting sued will not enjoy the experience. Mike has made it a policy, and has asked the moderators to enforce the policy, not to allow how-to questions from non-electricians. I think that fact would speak in his favor, in the event he does get sued.

It is "Aye, Aye," Captain. ("Aye" is Navy speak for "yes.")
Regards,
Charles E. Beck, Commander, US Navy Reserve, Retired.![]()

That sounds better than "Yes".
(We never believed ANYTHING officers told us.)

I was never enlisted, but I worked for the Navy for 3 and a half years and the head of my department was a Commander. What I learned is that no one called him "Commander xxxxxxx" to his face, they just said "Yes sir." The only time anyone actually mentioned his rank, it was to call him "Commander Jackass" behind his back.![]()
Thanks, tech, but I never consider wikipedia to be "reading pleasure." I maintain a healthy distance from that site, not wanting to "get any of it on me," as it were. I don't believe in unauthenticated mis-information sources.
That is what we wanted you to mean, when you said the phrase.As a Petty Officer a few decades ago, I was always taught that it stood for: " I Understand, and I Will Obey".
And don't think we weren't aware of this fact!(We never believed ANYTHING officers told us.)
And the reader has no way of knowing which is which (i.e., whether a cited reference is valid, or whether the person posting had accurately interpreted the reference). That is my objection to the site.Some articles (refering to wikipedia) have some good-valid references, some others dont.

That's like being told that "cop" comes from Constable On Patrol, instead of where it really originated.As a Petty Officer a few decades ago, I was always taught that it stood for: " I Understand, and I Will Obey".
