Old, I know first hand just how rude some people can be. As Dave2 would say, Lack of people skills.
I hope if you carefully read what I wrote, I wasn't getting on your case. Sorry if you thought I was. I try to show some degree of respect for people who have a difference in opinion.
I still think there is a double standard in how things are done and that is what I was pointing out. My electric company leaving one of their wires on the ground for 2+ years and only using a rod in the ground at my transformer.
Another one of my pet-pees is that the wire carrying current is also connected to the metal frame of my close dryer and electric range. Been that way for over 40 years and you can still get them wired that way. DOUBLE STANDARD.
Another double standard, as pointed out in a previous post, 220 volt Air conditioners, water heaters, electric furnaces, electric base board heaters all are controlled by breaking one leg of the 220v. But mention breaking just one leg on a 220v air compressor and look at how many people jump all over you. I personally have a hard time figuring out what the big deal is, but mention that and see how many code police jump on you because you are breaking a code. Forget code for a moment, say the code book hasn't been written yet, explain why it's ok for all the things I mention above to be controlled by breaking one leg, but it's not OK for an air compressor that is properly grounded.
Old, just watch how many people will jump on me now instead of explaining the DOUBLE STANDARD using logic without going to their code book or making personal attacks on me.
Look, I'm for safety too. Still alive after 50 years of working with electricity. Can't remember the last time I got shocked. Can't remember people here treating others with different opinions with respect.
