I agree with that. Presenting the concept as 'water and electricity together are dangerous' confuses the issue, because they aren't ALWAYS dangerous together, and the statement doesn't say why the combination is dangerous. 'Water conducts electricity - what are the consequences?' might be a better way to present the concept. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
