::It's just that I never needed the one-shot. Been hamming since
eighth grade, >3 sunspot cycles ago, and only shocks I've ever received were
from HVDC. A GFCI wouldn't have helped. In fact, probably the worst shock
I've ever gotten was from a power supply that was shut off and disconnected
from the AC mains. Oops, forgot to discharge the 53uF, 6000V filter cap...
