No names were used. As unfortunate as these instances were something can be learned from them!!! That's why its important to talk about them, hopefully so it NEVER happens again.

Don't expose yourself to a public debate on private matters.

WARNING. IF YOU DO... The Interweb never goes away. Could cost you $$$ big time.

WARNING...if you think you are anonymous. Legal proceedings will soon prove that a hoax.

This is not an incident but lately inspectors threaten to turn off the power because aeration fans are being run by cords stretched above ground from power source. Has there ever been an electrocution due to this practice? Gotta say we had heavy cords all over the place at the seed plant, summer and winter running drags, aeration, heaters. Guess we were just plain lucky. Why were we so dum, da rum dum?
