But that's a false argument, Bill, because, as you noted, it is illegal 
to use the green wire to carry load current, and it's illegal to connect 
neutral to ground at any point but the service entrance. And also 
because all wiring within my buildings, and in the similar system I 
described to Shawn, DOES include both neutral and ground conductors. 
I've been through that in both of my buildings, making sure that there 
are no such improperly connected loads.
