Hi.

The thing that upsets me the most about this is that the vast majority of
the measurements that I would make are at low voltages (generally 12 VDC or
less), and these voltages simply aren't that dangerous.  I am certainly not
going to put my fingers where there is the possibility of live voltages at
lethal levels.  But, I should not be barred from testing for the presence
of 12 VDC, or 9 VDC, or 5 VDC, and since I have an all solid state station,
these are the voltages that are most prevalent in my station.
