Thanks for your advice!

Personally I tire of hearing about ungrounded outlets. Reality check;
my bet is that well over half of the dwellings in the U.S. have
ungrounded outlets, and people have lived long full lives in them. I'll
also bet that your chances of actually having a fatal or even
debilitating shock are up there with winning the lottery and getting
struck by lightning. This is all just hype, part of the lowest common
denominator, lets idiot proof everything thing. I say lets thin out the
gene pool, why let idiots live to reproduce more idiots.
