Still too retarded to remove the retarded artifacts of your retarded newsreader?
Still trolling because you can't admit you are wrong? _Your own source_ disagrees with *all* your opinions.
You are as uninformed about newsgroups as you are about electrical (what a surprise). Newsgroups don't have "profiles". Look them up in Wikipedia.
A non-governmental organization (the NFPA) has power over state, county or municipal governmental agencies that are the organizations that adopt codes? This may be your stupidest idea (out of many to choose from).
Jurisdictions can adopt the building codes they want. There are multiple general building codes. It is not at all uncommon for jurisdictions to modify the NEC.
Still missing (what a surprise) - answers to even one question.
Why does _your own source_ not bring the whole house up to the current code like you say is required? Your source does only the electrical work it wants to - often very little. Is your source wrong or are you wrong?
_Your own source_ doesn't even remove all the K&T wiring. Isn't your source as smart as you are? How can they do that in your home state?
Does the NEC still allow K&T to be refed, just like it was in my mother's old house over 50 years ago? Like your own source does?
Why does _your own source_ say "properly installed and unaltered K&T wiring is not an inherent fire hazard"? Is your source wrong or are you wrong? You pointed at the "photos of hacked K&T wiring" in your source. Why weren't most of the photos identified as involving K&T wiring? Couldn't your source, which was about K&T wiring, find hacked K&T wiring?
Mike Holt is well known in electrical circles. In his discussion forums why don't electricians share your paranoia about K&T? Are they stupid? Why do they just think K&T is a wiring method that just has to follow NEC rules?
Why was the NEC change not based on data indicating a problem? Why do many jurisdictions, including at least 5 whole states, allow insulating K&T wiring? Why does _your own source_ insulate over K&T? Aren't they as smart as you are? Why does your own state, PA, also allow insulating over K&T (as is done by your source)? Why did the "Illinois report", to a state agency, not find significant numbers of house with K&T wiring and insulation where the insulation caused a fire? They looked for a problem and couldn't find it. Weren't the authors as smart as you are? Where is the data about fires in the huge number of K&T houses that have been insulated? So many houses and no problem?
