Should the saw be stopped when picking up pieces from the outfeed table?

I'm sure it should. But of course I had more pieces to cut and these were
just piling up and getting in the way. Another case of being in a hurry
creating a dangerous situation.

BTW, It was an honest question, I wasn't trying to be a smart ass. I am new
to this and still learning about proper tablesaw safety.

If you are walking around to the back of the saw and moving things to
somewhere else, technically you aren't supposed to walk away from any
machine until it has completely stopped. Imagine there's something on
the floor that you didn't notice and you lose your balance, what are
you going to do instictively with your arms? In practice I do it all
the time though.
