Hi Irv,

You must've forgotten all the elaborate discussion from Reggie about
how much time the rod needs to become intimate with the surrounding
mud (the same mud whose carefully crafted RF recipe remains a secret
hidden beneath his apron).

Strangely enough, the topic bears all the mystique of the aging of
wine in charcoal casks. Can you imagine the argument turning on if
you disturb the bottle - er - ground rod, it could stir up the
sediment or make the vintage go corky? Ever try to decant a bottle
with a loop of chain and a bumper jack? (Actually I think we tried
that with a jug of Sangria along the Russian River north of 'Frisco
back in '69.)
