HAH!

Yeah, I have a buddy that lives in NJ and he complains all the time about the politically charged BS (doesn't help that he ran for local office either, since he decided to throw himself into the thick of it that way)...

But, yeah I can see your point, but for me at least, leaving a spool of 250ft of 8-gauge wire outside after I ran the section under the walkway seemed like a really dumb idea... The area I live in is very safe and you could leave your doors unlocked at night (I end up leaving my Lincoln MKS unlocked in the driveway plenty of times), but it still just seems wrong to leave a spool of 8-gauge copper wire just sitting out...

Now, I can just solder a crimp on the end of the wire and pull the spooled wire through, ie use one big uninterrupted run of bonding wire... hmmm... I may have to do that... With some prudent planning I could end up at the skimmer bonding plate with the end so it wouldn't double back... hmmm...

I have no problem with excessive if it can be a managed situation...
