How many 30A outlets on a circuit?

The last line on the Internet Butthurt Form Norcal posted is:
"I realized arguing on the internet is usually pointless and found something else to with my time"

This is probably good advice and he took it, just like others here should do.

You know damn well if he could have answered the question he would have. As would you, and you still haven't. He's not the type to just walk away. He likes to argue, thats what he does here, search his posts, you will see this attitude over and over. You think he just comes here to help people with that attitude? There would have been no argument if he would have just given a simple example as I asked.

I also want to point out that you, alfredeneuman, have offered nothing of value in this post either. I don't want to make it look like I'm singling out Norcal...

MAN, electricians can be a stubborn, obnoxious bunch with a god complex! ***** when you put your foot in your mouth an make an idiot of yourself doesn't it? You're wrong. Just accept it and move on.

If an electrician I hired argued with me about any of this, he would be fired in one second. Maybe that's why these "electricians" have so much time to argue on the internet...

Ask for the explanation of a way around it then you wont be a hack.

I'm pretty sure I did. His way around this problem is to replace the wire with 10/3. I asked why? He has no answer. Because there is no answer.

Wouldn't a "hack" be a person that does things and can't explain why?

No, that wasn't the way around it,,, claiming it wasn't really a solution to V drop but just due to the fact it was wire they had on hand made it suitable. You are fighting a losing battle here.

I don't see that in the code so that isn't a way around. I'm not fighting anything, I'm simply stating that this code, and maybe a few others in the NEC, are pointless and stupid and require editing, and you, and the other electricians are fighting it tooth and nail. I'm entitled to make my own opinion in my own thread. And several people agree with me.

It's exactly the same as some religious zealot. Tell them their religion is ridiculous, and they will fight the same way, without the ability to give one reasonable example of WHY.

JUST SO WE ARE CLEAR:
I have already wired the circuit the way I wanted to do it and nobody else. And it works flawlessly.

I am not fighting it but its not as pointless as you think and somewhere deep down it makes sense. Its way above my pay grade to decide what goes in the book. It is a good case though for ,,,, if you don't understand all the more point to follow the rules.
I will agree about some of the crew going from forum to forum though.
Even so though I learn a spot from it on occasion and wouldn't have a clue about changes if it wasn't brought up. My code book is almost as old as some of the guys.
