Sheesh! Everybody's missing the obvious answer to the problem! Just make sure that you mark the end of each wire with some green tape.

The electrons arriving at the end will see the green markings, know that it means a ground connection and that they shouldn't flow along green wires under normal circumstances, and they'll stop before they fall out of the end and make a mess! [Linked Image] [Linked Image]

Ranger, don't forget that Chinese electrons are in no way as heavy as their American and European counterparts. This is why equipment made in China has very thin wires...

Paul, you must know that it's only the well behaved English electrons who are obedient to green tape. Most of the European electrons simply ignores green tape since, like all Europeans, they are used to go trough lots of red tape...
