Ever since I attended this EMC workshop at Langer in Dresden
(http://www.langer-emv.de/index.html for the German-speaking), I have a bad
feeling when I see dangling wires.
It may be no problem in most environments, but it's an antenna, and radio
frequencies can be demodulated by opamp input circuits, and you _might_ want
to use your modular system near to a strong RF source some day.
