Okay! Semantics, then. I'm not being demeaning, believe me! I firmly believe that the more a guy can undertstand about how electricity works, the easier troubleshooting becomes (and the safer).

I have no doubt that the terms you and I throw around loosely (ground, floated, sunk to ground, ground-switched, "hot", neutral, etc.) are enough to confuse many issues.

Sorry if I offended you. impish
