the attraction is to all the people that burn
themselves WHENEVER they
pick up a soldering iron...
I thought those burns where a right of passage in using an iron!?!

One definately might think that if you burn yourself every time you pick
up a soldering iron, perhaps you shouldn't be getting anywhere near one.
If your accuracy is that bad, save yourself the trouble and stay away
from electronics in general.
That'd be like a doctor who cuts himself on every scalpel he picks up.
"New! Dull sharp scalpel! Never cut yourself again, gets sharp for an
instant, then instantly dull again! Do your own appendectomy!"

Yep - picking up the hot end of a soldering iron is another one. Yes, I've
done that once. That was reason I went out and bought a proper stand for the
iron.

That was my first experience of a soldering iron when I was about
ten :-) I promptly spent the morning melting holes in anything plastic
that I could find, once I'd stopped yelling.

And don't have the mains lead where somebody can trip over it. I only
made that mistake once, the iron was pulled back in my hand just far
enought that I was gripping it by the metal element shaft......
