Paul,
I have met quite a few "experienced" HIs that have a poor understanding of electrical safety. It's just a sad reality from what I've seen.

Your efforts here are appreciated by many and I hope you will reconsider.

Put together some mini courses for NACHI to promote better understanding. Your SE course was helpfull to many I'm sure to give one example.

That of course is your choice and a decent reason IMHO. Nothing in NACHI is truly free and it's Nick who makes the ultimate decisions as to how membeship dues are spent. And that is his choice as well.

Yep.....it's not my puppy thats for sure....I have no say on it and don't want any as I focus all my classes now days to electricians...thats my refocused passion...educating Electricians.

I will continue as others do here to aid in the education....just dont want to be on any boards that don't agree with an education policy I happen to agree with...thats just a personal choice...nothing more.

I am and will always be here to aid in answering questions for the BEST members in the world.....regardless of my feelings at the direction the education is going......plus my phone is always available to HI's in need.
