When I said "they only thought were OFF" I obviously meant 'on-hook' although an unwanted power-on state could in and of itself also kill you in the wrong situation. After that MY workaround of powering off TO ASSURE THAT IT IS ON-HOOK clouded the issue I think, but both issues remain IMO extremely important all the time.
