My schematics are full of single pin nets, for two reasons:

1. gnetlist caused me serious trouble connecting all unconnected pins  
together.

2. I'm doing a hierachical design with folks who like global nets for  
power, so in some schematics there are *apparently* single pin nets,  
but they are really connected at a higher level.

The only other guy I know who uses those words is my old friend Jerry  
Roberts. You know him? He lives in Arlington.
