Rob,
Thank you very much for your thoughtful explanation of many of my
observations or statements. It is great to be able to get this kind of
insight from those more knowledgeable in many different topics.

Given the time, effort, and expense invested in building my airplane a
few grounding efforts, even if they may not be effective, can't hurt. I
will continue to ground my airplane several different ways. I will
continue to instruct FBO fueling personnel to continually touch the
refueling nozzle to the metal ring while dispensing fuel. If you stand
and watch these people refuel your airplane you will see how careful
they are to not let the nozzle touch anything. They think they are
protecting your masterfully built work-of-art airplane. The fuel just
flows in space creating its own static. I make them touch the nozzle to
the filler ring and explain why. I will continue to attach a separate
grounding cable to something metal on my airplane.

It is all about safety. In the air and on the ground.

Thank you all for your input on the past many different topics relating
to safety. Keep the info coming.
