Ratpack,

I stand corrected on the lightning strike issue. I've just repeated what several engineers have told me, but I certainly don't claim to know all about protection from lightning strikes, except on sailboats (you gotta ground the mast to the keel).

Thanks for the update on the Tripp-Lite surge supressors.
