My so called "original gaff" had nothing to do with the "lug must always
be used".  It referenced a section of CAN/ULC-524 (Installation Standard
for Fire Alarm Systems) which *requires* all fire alarm device back
boxes be "bonded to ground".  Oh, and by the way, a CSA approved plastic
gang box of any variety must have a ground lug.  And guess what else??
All components associated with running of cable and the cable itself
must be CSA approved to be used in Canada.

In your continued efforts to discredit me you've used every dirty trick
in the book, but you have yet to PROVE anything by them.  You've
fabricated outright lies about me as well.  What does this "say" about
you, Robert?

Where do I work Robert?  What's the name of the company?  Put up or shut up.
