Uhh... If you read back over the thread I think you'll find the issue was brought up very respectfully, without any "irritating" tone to it.
It's only HCL's continuing ignorance regarding this important matter that the message has continued to be repeated with more and more urgency. And rightly so.
Seriously, this is a pretty basic but very important point of electrical safety and it's nothing to be so dismissive about. Such a grounding scheme would be illegal in basically
any modern country (and probably most of the not-so-modern countries too). It actually surprises me that a company who obviously knows enough to design equipment of this complexity would disregard this problem. What's even more scary is that it's not just
any piece of equipment, but a piece of
high voltage tube gear.
And your arguement backing its safety is kinda flawed. Just because hundreds of people own one of these things doesn't mean they're all going to suddenly start dropping dead like flies. This is very much akin to selling a car without seatbelts. You'll be perfectly fine... that is, until you run into something...
