bnwitt	Re: discharging caps.... Carl, my memory must be faulty. Sounds about right. I do know that pin 1 is the plate of course. I would say it is more than just another way though. It's a sure fire way to bleed the caps as opposed to strummin along with your guitar. That is of course assuming nothing is cooked at pin 1. I've been using this process for about 6 years without mishap so I'd say it works well.
