I completely agree.  All 3 of us live in NC where low humidity is seldom a
problem.  It's a very different story than when I lived in Colorado and
could draw a 1/2" arc by walking across a carpet.  If Steve has static
electricity here, it's definitely his problem.  I've never had static
problems in my shack since moving back to NC from Colorado 16 years ago.
