Wow Todd, as an AHJ I think I like you! As a side note, one of my biggest gripes is an AHJ who does a partial review finds one or two things, denies the plans, sends them back, you correct and resubmit, than AHJ finishes review, denies plans again, and the circle of discord continues. What really eats my lunch are rejections for none life safety issues such as scale blocks, north arrows, etc .... Sometimes as a designer you get in a hurry and miss or overlook little things that really are not important in the big picture. It's nice when a reviewer realizes this. Issues that aren't going to affect the operation of the system or cause someone to be drug into court don't need to be federal problems. I'm low on coffee, so this is just my afternoon rant.
