I'd never even heard of slave units in 1976 until I inadvertently set his off. I wasn't even shooting in the same room, but stopped shooting anywhere near him after he told me I was setting off his flashes. Jeeze, I hope I don't burn in hell for that. I'd forgotten it until I saw that post, and it reminded me of how embarrassed I was. You guys need to lighten up.
