I am amazed at how you folks(basic full timers)and I'm sure many,many of the readers,are so well versed on the NEC with all its guidelines,rules,exceptions,FPN's,changes, cross reference documentation etc with every crack and crevice covered and rarely do I see where the scenario and/or question goes unanswered.The knowledge base is also to be commended.

Thanks for a job well done.

Not to hijack the thread, but I agree.

I would be nothing without this place.

I have learned more in the past couple years on here than anyone could learn in the field.

I have become the resident code expert to my co-workers, my PM, and the owner.

Scary, isn't it?

Thanks.
 
Not to speak badly of the teachers I have had but I would say electrical forums have taught me at least 90% of my NEC knowledge. :)

Well said Dick. I have only been a member of this forum for a short time and it boggles my mind on the depth of knowledge that the members bring to this forum. It is simply amazing! I learn something new every time I log on. A big thanks to you all.
 
I like it, because as Jim stated, it makes you look in the book. Sometimes someone will say something and you think you know the answer, then you dig out the book and start reading and if your are doing it right you should learn something.

Its even worse for us electrical engineers. Although there are a few specialzed programs that teach "building engineering", most of the electrical engineering programs are very general. We learn about radio waves and transistors and signal processing. Never even looked at the NEC in school.

So this fourum (and everyone thats a part of it) has been a great help. When I first posted, I didn't know the difference between a receptacle and an outlet.

Well said, Steve. There is a large disparity between the electronics engineering taught in the classrooms versus the building power engineering performed by electrical consulting engineers.
