<<< < Does anyone know what would happen if one inadvertently, one rainy < night, with wet feet, pissed onto an electric fence? -- No and we don't want you to field test this either. I started in electronics when tubes were still around and equipment had decent voltages in them. I can still remember two of the basic saftey rules: Never touch a conductor to see if it is live. If you know a conducter is dead then first touch it with the back of your hand so if you are wrong your hand will contract away from the source rather than grabbing onto it. John Eaton !hpvcfs1!johne
