I DID, but got two messages behind you;
since I'm on the Digest-mode I usually get a 
small delay and reply later...
But I'm glad SOMEONE saw that this subject 
came up at least 3 or 4 times before...
I just searched the archives to find my old message...

Walt came up with this too a while back.
The fun thing is that even WITHOUT the grounding 
this will work just fine. It's a bit hard and not appropriate
to explain it here, but if anyone is interested I can explain

It has to do with the difference in wattage and a lot of 
bulbs being connected parralel to each other.
