    Thanks again, Steve and everyone.

Be assured that I continue to read the thread on this issue with interest.

Tom,

You don't even have to turn it on.  In fact, you don't even have to unplug
it until you start to open it up.  The bleeder resistors will discharge the
caps a few seconds after you turn it off.
