<P>Hey Darel!  It's Cat, The poop with the electric thing is that the earth and us and the universe for that matter have a charge, you knew that, right?  Now some of us look at all the charges that are not the ones we evolved in as possibly damaging to our little electromagnetic systems.  We also know that by zapping a bit of juice into a brain we can make it think differently right?  Like electro-shock therapy, which I was privileged to witness in one of my many careers.  The salts that the electric impulses run on in the brain that jump impulses from one place to the other are very delicate little mechanisms.  Some of us would like to avoid as much of that as possible.  Now your incredulously going to ask, what does that have to do with metal roofs.  Weeeeeellll stick a hanger on to your radio antenna and tell me that metal is not grabbing electric fields?!  Ok so I'm not so sure this means shit to a tree but some of us would just like to be surrounded by as much natural juices as possible and see where it gets us. It's all just an experiment and we are all trying to do the best we can.   You understand? </P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>No one's going to be using their roof as an electrical conductor. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>Steel or any metal alone will not create a magetic field. Unless you 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>use magnets as your roof!
