Well, all humor aside, I stand by my original answer to BE CAREFUL. True, a
KV might not kill you, but if you start out being careless, when you progress
up to tubes like a 4-1000A, the B+ will most certainly kill you. The pile of
ashes on the floor will be proof enough

Again, humor aside, I pride myself on NOT having hit a KV...that takes more
skill than hitting it

Knights of Olde Times had scars to prove their courage, bravery, and
skills and slain dragons. ;-) (or foolheartiness?)

Then thee can speak of "experience." ;-)

And, once burned, you learn and remember better, too!!! :-)

Memory is wonderful: You recognize when you made that same mistake before!

;-)

And, of course, you get bragging rights if you can talk about a smoke test
where you really did get the smoke (yeah, I had one and that burnt rubber
stank, too).

Oh, come on. How could anyone have not touched a low-kilovolt B+ and
call himself a ham?

We've all touched a kilovolt or two, probably as young kids, and we're
all perfectly normal!
