[snip: multiple responses]

<mild rant>

Would everyone please check to see if someone else has answered a
question before you answer it? I've lost count of the number of
responses to this post that said basically the same thing. Granted,
email travel times and download constraints can create multiple
responses, but this one was well beyond the norm.

Now, if you have something to add, feel free. But if your going to
say the same thing someone else said, please don't and keep the
bandwidth down.

</mild rant>

Thanks,

Well beyond the norm? How many "big D" responses are there, or anwers
to "whos' posting in the Atlan discusion" that boil down to "I dunno".
After 20, I put a kill on the topic. Inthisone, at least half had new
info, and the other half were worth it to see whatcommon percepption
was. I think it totaled maybe 16 replies. I wish more threads were
like that! Itat least dealt with a concealable, realistic weapon!

Another common and useful SAP is a lead weight sewn into the back
of a beret or "drivers cap"- any soft, mushy, easy to remove cap will
do. You just grab the front and your ready to whack some-one
unconcious.
Iv'e now added more than most replies to any grounding question ever
do.
