So, because of a few odd bits in the code, you reject it all?


You've obviously never read any of the NYC or Chicago codes. I think
they were written by a pack of rabid union lobbyists and don't even
_compare_ to the lovely and light NEC manual.

(Disclaimer: I've only seen snippets of those codes and they're wild.)
