Rich, Thanks for forcing my brain into another frame of mind. I had not thought of it in exactly that way until I read your comment. The statements we are discussing are either those prescribed by the applicable standard, or more often, the CYA type statements we all include in our users guides (such as "do not connect a fax machine to the telephone line during a lightning storm").
We have been trying to align any statements with the ANSI and ISO standard and have been getting some resistance from other groups that use the signal words for other purposes than potential injury. I was looking for additional perspective to bolster our argument. Thanks everybody, this has all been good food for thought. Regards, Gregory H.
