Try to convince me that was a good idea. My first reaction is to think
it would potentially (no pun intended) create a colossal ground loop.



It is rare indeed that no ground beats a good solid one.



While true, I'm not sure that "good solid" applies to the ground system
described (i.e. rods driven into the earth on opposite ends of a house,
each grounding a portion of the outlets in said house).
