Isn't that dangerous?

This question has been posed before on the reflector and the answer is the
same: the gas pipe  is also used as safety earth for our electricity supply.
In case of a short circuit to earth tens of amps wil flow through
that pipe. As that is apparantly considered acceptable I don't worry about
my 1.8A of RF current.
