Indeed. I knew I was leaving myself wide open to exactly that
response, but I wondered who was going to make it. Shoulda known. ;)

BTW, you realise that EST is quite different from a mild 220/50 shock?

I've also heard at various times that 110/60 is actually more
dangerous than 220/50, due to it beincg closer to the resonant
frequency of $BODY_PART (presumably heart, or nerve, or whatever).
