"The Engineering Council in the UK would I expect strip someone of their CEng status if an individual proposed such silly things." But let's face it, the UK is becoming just about the most laughable
I fully support the right of each individual to do what he wants unless it directly interferes with others' rights to do similarly. But I know my limitations and I know that no matter how well I unde

Exactly. I assume none of the people proposing using PL-259 plugs for HV are chartered engineers. The Engineering Council in the UK would I expect strip someone of their CEng status if an individual
