@n2g2000hse.googlegroups.com:

Are you really saying no-one ever unplugs things withoutout turning
them off first? I really doubt it.


Some equipment simply has no off switch..


Who cares? I unplug and plug in items that are turned on all the time, worst
case you get a little spark, it doesn't cause any problems. It's not hot
enough to pit the plug prongs or contacts.
