I think you meant to type "GFCI", no? I don't think my client wants to
pay for them fancy newfangled GRCI breakers ...

Yeah why bother installing something that saves lives, bet they want
to save bucks on their new vehicle by deleting safety belts? and why
not remove and sell off the air bags too.

Maybe if you learned to read you could figure out what John and Dave said..

if the solder joint detoriates for whatever reason it can overheat and
since its not in a box cause a fire..

Another item you have been challenged on in the past. In years of doing
service work I never saw a solder joint that "deteriorated". I saw 2
that failed that were "cold joints" when they were made. One was K&T.

Anecdotal evidence (clare's younger brother) proves the real hazard is
Romex. I am confident you will now demand removal of all the hazardous
Romex wiring out there.

It is certainly as strong as your anecdotal evidence.

Or has an insurance company come up with actual casualty data?

K&T typically has one outlet per room, necessitating lots of extension
cords. beyond the unsafe stuff the OP admitted on post one and ii
pasted, do you still think K&T is safe and effective?

90 year old anything is elderly, all sorts of wierd stuff happens when
something is that old.

how many roofs has a 100 year old home had? how many plumbing
upgrades?

how many vehicles have you had in a lifetime?

nothing lasts forever despite how much you protest
