Hi, Pennypicker.

One ought always to treat new technology and successful inventors with respect IMO.

If Nikola Tesla hadn't stood his ground and proved that his new AC was safe



Tesla is a giant from the past but hardly greater than the man who hired and fired him.

AC is not safe. There are numerous deaths every year from accidental electrocution but even the most rabid Edison hater might find this disturbing:

Hidden Danger: Soldiers Dying From Electrocution

March 20, 2008

By MARCUS BARAM

During his two tours of duty serving as a special forces soldier in Iraq, Ryan D. Maseth had cheated death on more than a few occasions.

But little did the staff sergeant know that when he stepped into the shower at his military base in Baghdad two months ago, he was putting his life at risk.

Maseth, 24, of Shaler, Pa., outside Pittsburgh, was electrocuted on Jan. 2 when an improperly grounded electric water pump short-circuited and flowed through the pipes...

Well truthfully, old veterans usually get little more than lip service with sometimes tragic consequences but so do lots of people.

Your [partial] quote without attribution:

"We have been part of successful start-ups before, however, I am speaking for the entire group when I say this one is special," said David Nelson, co-founder of Hansom James Capital, which is providing financing and marketing expertise for the company. Makes me wonder.

Without the "Makes me wonder," that precise wording is found in numerous articles and references over many years.

I have no idea what you might be wondering about and what thought you wanted to express.

Best, Terry
