I'm trying to let this one die, but I just fundamentally disagree. It's an elementary school MP room with a 9' or lower ceiling that's 15' deep from the curtain to the back of the platform. There are NO compartments adjacent, only storage rooms with closing doors (protected for OH) and stairs that go up the sides. There is about 4' of promontory out in front of the curtain and risers down from there to the floor of the seating area, which can be used for choir of other assemblages of students (or adults, I suppose). There is no reasonable or imaginable way that they can stuff this platform with enough fire load to make a compelling argument for any use but spoken word, musical and other similar low impact presentations. You've spoken to my original question, which was whether or not the horizontal "main curtain" is tantamount to an "overhead hanging curtain", and you seem to be saying it is.

However as tom beringer said in platoon.. You want reality I am reality....and the reality of this is that steves platform/stage/duck can and will be used down the line as a working stage with stuff (like your word BIG fire load) hanging, attached sitting etc etc. Like arc fault electrical devices codes take liberties in assuming that bad things might occur givin the opportunity. We live in a world of probabilities and down the line the curtain on steves duck means its probably going to be used a stage. If that wasn't the case they would be willing to do away with the curtain and end this jaunt. But theyre not because they know exactly what the ducks going to be used for. PS taken literally most curtains part in the middle meaning there's TWO of them as in PLURAL, oh boy.

Wouldn't that also be the more accurate LITERAL interpretation. Having said that, I think we've said all there is to say about this issue except Isn't Working with the Codes Fun.
