I was wondering what the groups stance is on the 10 MegaOhm resistors that
are used on the Geek Group MMC.  If we assume 2000 Volts max and 10 megaohms
across each cap--  the power is only 0.4 watts, but a 1/2 watt resistor, the
next size up,  is only rated a few hundred volts.  I've seen some resistors
made by  IRC that will handle ~ 3kv at 1/2 watt, I'd have to check the exact
specs but they'd work, the only thing was they were very expensive, $3 to $4
Canadian each .  What resistors are people using since my MMC capacitors
didn't come with resistors?  I want to get some that will be reliable, easy
to get ahold of and cheap!
