I am not wasting hours of my life, running around like a little info pussy, "obtaining info" on people. You do. I am a real person, and you are pathetic, boy. That is pretty much all there is to it, and no, there is nothing legal about what you do.

SO, asswipe, post personal info about me, and see what kind of wheat your pathetic little plot of soil in life grows.

Is that a scanned copy of the book? At 127M it would appear to be (earlier PDFs direct from the NFPA being on the order of 5M).

After using the CD version of the handbook I can't imagine digging through a PDF to find something. The CD handbook is a searchable resource with the NEC at it's core and english explanations on top.. It is also $185 so if you don't have a professional interest it may be a bit pricy.

One reason: There are pdf readers other than Acrobat that can do a much better job of indexing a document for search. Its possiblr to to semantic searches and fuzzy logic searches. So if you're not quite certain what keywords you might need to search for, you can paraphrase a question and it will root out the appicable paragraphs. Its way beyond the NFPA proprietary application (I'm assuming its the same as the one for the code alone on CD).

I noticed that the NFPA offers a service (not for free, of course) to help you do code research. So its not in their best interest to give you a tool that will cut into their income stream.

Nebraska is still running on 2005 code. The powers that be weren't all that thrilled with AFCI requirements at the time. Nebraska is usually fairly quick to adopt the latest code as state law. I've never looked to see if the whole code is posted in the statutes. I seldom have problems with aioe.org as a newsreader. Someone here mentioned another one that he had better luck with than aioe but I can't remember what it is offhand.
