>"These regulations aren't created just for fun, they're created because people died. Let's not take a step backwards." Of course, and I realize that, I think we all do. The question, though, is at what point is a regulation more expensive than it is practical? It sounds heartless but some regulations don't seem worth the expense of how many lives it is designed to save. One of the reasons why the 4 prong outlet is required for dryers is because someone was changing the inner light bulb in the dryer and killed themselves because they didn't shut off power to the circuit. The regulation is meant to help prevent this in the future, but one has to wonder just how many people are actually being saved by this update. Especially when you personally have to shell out something like $750 to update your three prong outlet.
