I have a quick question and wondered if somebody can explain this to
me. While working on some wiring today, I got a bit of a jolt from
the neutral wire. When I tested it with my voltmeter, it read zero (I
had the breaker off). But then, when I grabbed the neutral, I got a
tingle.


Just for clarity can you explain how you were "electrocuted" and are
still able to post to Usenet?

Was the 'death of Usenet that we've been hearing about for a decade a
statement on the status of the posters?

A 'bit of a jolt' is hardly electrocution.
