Grounding Question

I am asking the "august" body of amateur radio experts about grounding your
computer to the station ground?

Is this a good idea to keep RF out of all the USB connections?


 In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't
have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any
Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common
Sense divine?

Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind.

Never interfere with anything that isn't bothering you.

Yes and Yes.  Finding anything chassis-ish and groundable can be a bit
of a problem on laptops, sometimes the jack screws on the DB-15 external
mon plug will be chassis common.  But, everything in your station should
be grounded to the same ground point so that it all is at the same
potential.
