Dedicated power lines-getting started

All semantics aside, seems it might be time to move off of this "mule" beating.
I responded to Ernie's add over a month, and via e-mail, thanked him for assembling the CVH materials I had read about at AA for 2 years. Always wanted to get into DIY, and this offering from Ernie was perfect for me.
He acknowledged the CVH use of the 82802 (as I did in my e-mail) and shipped me some materials. The mule did the legwork, and simply provided an outlet for small change.

Provided a nice, inexpensive service, and shipped a cable which I had no access to. Yep, I called annixter and the hassles was simply not worth it for me.
I see no harm here, other than a possible ego bruise, or two.
And I see no intellectual property rights violated here.
This is my take here. I bought a kit from one source... and it contained, among other things, a nice Belden catalog cable well known for use as an excellent PC. As the "customer", thanks Chris and Ernie.

Time to move on.

Xblue, I agree the facts are very simple here. The vast majority of the interest in Belden 83802 for powercords has been generated on the Audio Asylum by ChrisVH and talk of his designs for approaching two years. That's where I heard about them first also. That is the prime reason there is this high level of interest in the Belden wire and, subsequently, the kits.
I don't believe the magic of 83802 is this smoke and mirror show.

Eagle, it certainly helps to know that. I have only visited AA three or four times, as I don't know how to navigate it, wheras I've been an avid member here for 2+ years. Had no idea who Chris or his interest was about until I had already "discovered" 83802 in a belden catalog. Parallel developments in parallel venues. Got it. Thanks.

Hi!
In my opinion Subaruguru has done nothing wrong. Or is there someone who makes cables and other stuff for free? I believe his intensions are good. I've contacted him a few times and always got an honest answer or opinion.

He has done much for the DIY "population" and even more for those who can't or won't make the DIY cables for themselves. So, why not let him do his fine job if there are people who apreciate it and have nothing against paying very reasonable money for his TIME, WORK and material cost?
He is obviously enjoying the DIY work too. And that is a very important aspect for me!

I suppose you wouldn't believe me if I say to you that I DID made cables of such "design" 6-8 years ago, altough not with Belden cables. So what? I know that many people, like me, have done so much before that someone posted it on the net... And those people don't claim it's their exclusive design or application. Personaly, I don't care about WHO has "invented" what DIY design or application because, in my oppinion, that's not the main thing here. But, then, my ego doesn't need to be "feed" by other people saying my name and I am not converting DIY-ing into a bussines...

People, this is all about DIY stuff. Get back on earth and let us continue DIY-ing. Here is plenty enough space for people with different aproaches, viewpoints, thinking, etc. So cool down. Long live the DIY!

Best regards,
David.

Hi folks. MSN has eaten my internet service and email, so my 16 yr old finally let me use HER (guess who bought it?!) computer to get access....
I spent last night with a dear acoustician/ee/friend who immediately thought that Belden couldn't possibly approve use of ANY cable of theirs for in-wall use unless they had sought UL approval. The relatively small sales of their 83800 products is such that they simply saw no need to spend LOTS of bucks seeking UL approval. Maybe the recent dramatic upsurge in sales of this cable for 115v use will stimulate them to pony up the bucks....
Cheers.
