[BC] LAN Weirdness

[Mike McCarthy]

There are exceptions to this code rule.  Such as where the ground
electrode and conductor are sufficiently sized to handle the calclulated
fault current without excessive voltage drop.

I agree that willy-nilly random bonding of the neutral to ground is a
dangrouse situatuion.  But one which if carefully designed isn't an ONLY
condition.
