When I was young, my older brother once relieved himself on an electric fence (in Germany if it matters), and by the surprized look on his face, the jumping and the way he "held" hiself (making himself wet in the process), I would venture to guess that he did indeed receive an unpleasant shock. While this isn't first hand (so to speak) evidence, I'm certainly convinced not to repeat the experiment. -hans ======================================================================== Hans-Gabriel Ridder Digital Equipment Corporation ridder@elvira.enet.dec.com Customer Support Center ...decwrl!elvira.enet!ridder Colorado Springs, CO
