Why not just post in the "commercial" forum.. we can figure out what you are talking about.

I agree. I think "commercial" covers anything non-residential quite easily.

I wouldn't mind seeing a "Sticky" forum, and then see all these damn stickys on each individual forum removed.

It might be easier for you to just hit the "new posts" button. That brings up a list of threads that have been updated or are new since your last visit. That's what I do. If you visit daily, that makes quick work of browsing what's new or has been added to.

Clicking user cp helps a lot too. You can find topics you've posted in previously quite easily without having to search the entire forum.

I agree, commercial and industrial system are very different animals. Don't see much MV or HV distribution in commercial.
