Think about it. If you have one receptacle wired to another, and the
first is wired wrong it is not a "correct" source for feeding the
other.

You need to think about it a little more yourself.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

OK, no troll, I'm confused.

If you have two outlets on a circuit, and outlet one has hot wired to
neutral, would it not make sense that the downstream plug will also have
juice at the neutral side as well?

It could be miswired too, correcting (for the second outlet) the first
miswiring. In that case, correcting only the first would make the
second one wrong.

Or are you implying that it just really isn't an issue when plugging
something into either outlet?


I know someone who recently said that it didn't matter which wire (hot
or neutral) was connected where. Not with AC.

He didn't know much.

Tnx
