BUT note that this '"Bonding connection" between the green wire blocks
and the neutral blocks' is removable and *must be* removed if the panel
is used as a subpanel -- again, so that the only connection between
neutral and ground is at the service entrance (which may not be where
the panel is: e.g., our main breakers -- and one breaker for the garage
circuits -- are in the garage, back to back with the meter, while the
panel with all the other breakers -- technically a subpanel -- is in the
basement).

the ever-growing pot of cybersoup:
> No- no added wire. The "metallic conductor" I refer to IS the neutral

> Significantly, ALL panels I have ever seen have this "Bonding

> Neither the green or the neutral is switched.
