code advocate [RE-wrenches]

[Jay Peltz, Peltz Power]

<x-flowed>

HI Allan,

I must say I have been somewhat surprised at the lack of interest in  
such an idea,
given the stake we all have in this.

I think here is the perfect example of the people who are self  
appointed and in charge now
having no clue as to whats going on. I mean when JW is talking to  
inspectors etc without having
talked to Outback first is just wrong.  But I'm also surprised that  
he would find issue with a UL rated product,
which the PS1 is.  So he's disagreeing with how UL tests things, or?

Nope time for a change, before this industry gets much bigger.

Have a nice thankgiving.
