Hi Patrick...

Many of us have also been nailed by the " unconnected" secondary and 
have our own war stories. Thinking back on the "attack" I had, ( 
prompted by your email) just maybe , remotely possible, something to 
think about,  I wonder if the body acts as a capacitor in conjunction 
with the secondary for that brief instant we recieve the shock ( and 
thats why it is so intence? and kinda like an AC feeling)  is it 
possible that between us and the secondary combination we get an 
oscilation for that microsecond of contact???
