And that was the fun part. He talked about an overhead power line in the Antarctic, how it was an isolated system

I still remember one of Bennie's posts where the discussion was whether we should use 20A receptacles in residential kitchens because they were being installed on a 20A circuit. He always came out with a logical answer that made you really think about the topic. So, after many had posted their replies and opinions he simply said "How many household kitchen appliances come with 20A plugs"?I had a lot of good discussions with Bennie....we didn't always agree
We still miss you Bennie.

I got here in 2007. I spent the first couple of years catching hell about still soldering joints (I was doing primarily residential at the time). I apprenticed for an old union foreman that is now in his 80’s and that was all I knew. I finally gave up and went to wire nuts. Now use push-in connectors. Look how far I’ve come.

Another regular poster from the early days was Charlie Eldridge (Utility Power Guy). He was also on the CMP. His name popped into my head a couple days ago.

No, he just said he was too busy to be on here much.
Edit: Looks like I stepped on Roger's post.

I don't really remember Bennie, but I searched for the oldest thread I started that is still in the system, and I found this:
Transformer Clearance
I'm assuming post #12 would be a good example of stuff Bennie might have posted.

I remember Bob saying he was stepping away from the forum for a while, that was probably a longer time ago than it seems. He lived just 20-30 minutes from me. I figured we'd somehow bump into each other whether at a code review/ supply house/ etc. We chatted here often.
