You forgot number 5
5) It's illegal, but you don't care.
It's illegal to drive above the posted speed limit too. Please don't waste
everyone's time by saying you've never done that either.
You, easily, endanger more people by speeding than you do by backfeeding a
generator (assuming you don't pull the main). And, as other's have said
more than once, the linemen have procedures to follow to protect them
against such situations so they don't get fried.
I am in control of disconnecting my main. When you speed, you are not in
control of the action/reaction of others.
The point being, if you're hung up on this just because "it's illegal" -
you need to wake up and face reality. It's illegal to spit on the sidewalk
too. It's illegal to do a lot of things that people will continue to do
with no harm to others.
The bottom line all along has been that it's 100% safe with this situation.
All your assinine preaching will not change that.
Care to continue to beat the, long dead, horse? I'm game.
