Ditto.
The prime directive. Follow the manufacturers instructions.

If they don't follow the instructions, it's their own stupid fault!

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Packing Peanuts
Frankly I'm shocked that Elecraft used Styrofoam packing peanuts. I
work in electronics manufacturing and my company has banned them from
our building well over a decade ago. All of our vendors are required to
not use them. They are a killer for electronic components.
It is precisely the static charge that causes them to stick to
everything. What do you think happens to that static charge that is
present on your body after handling this packing material when you open
a static bag containing static sensitive parts? It has to go somewhere.
