Thanks. That is good stuff to know, and I was not fully aware of this
subtle change in receptacles until recently. My concern was for those
who would not recognize the difference in the presence or absence of the
clip.
Our public sharing may be beneficial in that regards. --Phil

Without that spring the receptacle cannot be listed as self grounding.
If you thought I was advocating relying on the mounting screws of
ordinary receptacles as the grounding pathway think again. I am only
talking about the receptacles that have been tested by an electrical
testing laboratory and listed as self grounding.

The following was the unfortunate response to my personal e-mail to you.
It just didn't seem important enough to do it that way!!! :-) --Phil
