Part of the problem is that it's not that easy to find 2 wire
outlets at your local hardware store. Our local large chain
hardware store probably has 16 varieties of duplex outlets, all 3
prong, and no 2 prong types.

My local Home Depot has 2-wire outlets.

Local where? In any case, I'm glad they're showing back up. I don't think
I've seen them anywhere in decades. I think people just started putting in
the grounding outlets (even 'electricicians') until the NEC or someone
started a fuss over it....
