Or if it is not grounded at the far end, and is used in place of a good 
ground to "simulate" a ground for the termination resistor, then it is 
low impedance at the resistor and high impedance at the far end. This 
would probably require some separation from ground along it's length, 
especially at the open end, to work this way.
