Hundreds of piles of fake dog poop would stop people from strolling 
through the yard, but it won't help any liability problems if someone 
gets a tiny little boo-boo from touching the antenna.

It is so cheap and easy to insulate the low voltages on the 
verticals, that might be the best option. I'm not a lawyer, but it 
seems reasonable to me that even a "it'll burn you fingers off" 
warning sign won't save your butt if you have an option of using 
protection and don't.

As a matter of fact, it seems that adding a sign is an admission 
you know there is a problem. 

Gads, I hope this isn't another Owl thread!
