Not to pile on, but I too have used Doug's grounding scheme successfully.

As for an authoritative discussion of layout and grounding, this is the best there is:  https://www.valvewizard.co.uk/Grounding.pdf

Merlin writes exceptionally well and is easily understood with lots of great illustrations.

When I first started building, I read books that recommending star grounding when possible, and I got into the habit of designing all my builds that way.

Who's books?

I never thought you meant any disrespect. But once is a typo. Twice is just lazy. At least you didn't call me "sucky".

I've never seen anything from Slukey or HotBluePlates that have steared me wrong.

My name is SLUCKEY! That's not so hard to type, is it?

Stuckey's correct.

Who is Stuckey? As much as I've helped you in the past, you should at least get my name right!
