Yes, it is -- and you've made the same mistake that Steve did.

What mistake is that? Believing what the OP said? You may know
electricity, but Steve's "English language interpretation" of the
original post is correct. I'd say it's up to the OP to come back and
say, oops, I don't have a neutral, rather than you making that
assumption. No matter how reasonable and logical you think that
assumption is, it's one that absolutely contradicts the statements made
by the OP.

Well said and completely correct.

Well said, yes, but completely INcorrect. In no way does it contradict any
statements made by the OP.

Ahem. The OP said he had a common. You say he doesn't. Therefore, you
are contradicting him. That, sir, is about as simple as logic gets.

As far as his ability to wire a light to that common, it matters whether
it really exists. But as far as you contradicting him, it doesn't matter
one ****ing bit whether he *saw* the common in real life, or only in his
dreams.

Since you always tell non-electricians to shut up on electrical issues,
I'll offer you this: If you don't understand logic, keep your mouth shut
on matters of logic.
