Hi Dave,

    I didn't realize what you meant by "ESD lead" and assumed you were tying

the chassis directly to ground, rather than via a 1 Meg resistor.  In that 
case your ESD wire sounds like a very good idea, something I'll probably do 
when building my K3 to avoid charges building up while it's resting on non-
conductive feet or painted surfaces.  (Very clever, why didn't I think of 
that.)

    Hopefully no one will make the mistake of directly grounding their K3's 
chassis during assembly.
