Dennis - check how things are quoted - I wasn't  responding to anything

*** I it looked to me as if I was also quoted in your  response; my error I 
guess...
 

What I responded to was this:

Unless you're participating  under two seperate accounts...   ?
 
***Only a single account. I am Dennis O. and he is Will  Matney.

And the point remains, that someone who believes that  electrocution / 
shock hazards will be mitigated by a slight change in  mains frequency 
evidences and distression, and potentially deadly, lack of  understanding 
of the basic facts of AC theory, and I was moved by a human  concern for 
his personal saftey.


BTW- is it  possible for you to share URLs / Links / Citation to this 
very useful data  you refer to? It would help perhaps in an understanding 
of these  issues.
 
 ***I'd love to get a copy of it myself, but I'm afraid it was  destroyed 
along with the rest of the Western Electric Hawthorne  Works on 22nd and Cicero 
in Cicero, Illinois.
 
 ***I was a very young, (19 years old), Industrial Engineer still  going to 
college part time and I was digging through the buildings' data  archives doing 
some research on the famous (infamous) Hawthorne Studies  (Experiments) in 
Industrial Engineering when I accidently happened across  the detailed notes of 
those 'other' more gruesome Hawthorne studies. I  took a quick look, was 
grossed out, and went back to my original research,  planning to someday go back 
and read the rest of the data, but I never  did.

Most of which are (basically) covered in the various  question pools for 
modern Ham licences, no?
 
 ***Sorry, but I cannot help you... If I had the information I would  share 
it with you and the rest of the world, but I do not have it, cannot  access it, 
nor can I prove it ever even existed.
 
***Regards,
 
***Dennis O.
