[Shop-talk] kid safety & outlets (was: 110vac outlet question)

[Battmain]

(Chuckle) I was wondering the same thing. I learned about
electricity at a very young age, and not to mess with an
AC outlet. It only occured once. 

I'll admit that years later, I melted an screwdriver when 
discharging  the 9inch CRT in my old Heathkit luggagle. The 
bang or snap when it discharged brought back memories of 
my childhood when I taught myself a valuable lesson. <bg>

Experience is a wonderful teacher I think.

Meaning you learned a very valuable lesson, with minimal damage.

Maybe we're emphasizing the wrong thing here ... ?
