Default Bought an Old Valve Radio Today!

But it wasn't going to get me KILLED!

I know enough to stay clear of mains, keep one hand for myself, etc.
Bloody hell! Exaggerate! Ok, there's a 1e-6 chance that an errant
and angry cap could have gone to the PCB in the sky and core sampled
my skull and its contents on its way there, but if we're playing the
exaggeration game, well, why stop there?

I repeat what I said befo I bet you've *all* done things before,
that with hindsight would have been better not done. Now stop acting
like boring parents - and anyway, what would you care if I had been
killed? You wouldn't, any more than I would if some other stranger
had been similarly erased. So what's-his-face's patronising post
was transparently just that; an example of someone taking the
opportunity to _sound_ superior, with no proof to back up the claim
that they are in fact so.
