>> There was no direct electrical contact, (the pins were at least 4-6
>> inches away from the nearest terminal) the only thing I can think of

>> like that for about a month.

>> Anyway, I thought that was pretty darn weird and had never seen
>> anything quite like that before, so I figured I would share. :-)
