Thanks for recommending the Powermid pyramid remote extender. I got
one and it works great. I'm going to get more for other rooms.

I knew about it, but hadn't had a personal recommendation before.

Sort of ironic, since my Leapfrog IR-45 was finally working pretty
well on all 3 floors, but the Powermid is even quite a bit better.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. The voltage has nothing whatever to do
with electrocution (other than affecting how much current flows). ONLY THE
CURRENT MATTERS.

Except that the current is directly proportional to the voltage, so I
don't think it's fair to say the votage ahs nothing whatever to do it
with it.

And you can only apply voltage. You don't know how much current will
go through most things until there is a voltage across it either from
an ohmmeter or some power supply.

No offense meant, but I'm reminded of a JHS science teacher who said
that water had nothing to do with rust, because the formula for rust
production is Fe + 02 = Fe02 (or something like that) and water isn't
in it. Even though everyone can tell that wet things rust much more
than dry things.

Other than this, I agree with your posts.

You cannot be killed "with a few milliamps". The thresholds are known, and
the lethal level is at about 100mA through the heart.

I can't believe the participants in /this/ group aren't more familiar with
electrical safety.
