This was a great question, and a great topic to bring up in general. Many of us are self taught (or are in the process of being largely self taught) and this is one of those areas where common sense and intellectual knowlege sometimes fail to overlap. It's been a long time since I took physics and advanced electronics in high school, and this should serve as a good reminder to all that you simply cannot be too careful. After all doing something stupid with yourself is one thing, but putting someone else at risk is just unacceptable.
Gotta go now, promised my toaster a quick bath before I leave to play golf. Hmmm...is that thunder?
