<grin>

No-one does until they get caught out with it :-)

Depending on the sense of the reset / I/O either a pull up resistor to +V
or a pull down to gnd will do the job.

In this case a pull down is needed.

I had a real funny effect on a small microcontroller due to this. I
forgot the pull-up on the reset, and the blasted uP stopped working
every time I toggled the pin adjacent to the reset pin. There was enough
capacitive coupling to trip the reset. Weird thing was that if I pointed
my finger at the uP it also stopped! (same reason)

That's after I swore never to miss off a pull up again after the previous
such problem :-)
