 		 #170391 - Floating signals
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Have you verified that you don't have any floating signal somewhere?

A circuit that is sensitive to the touch is normally an indication that a part of the circuit is very high-impedive. Either the resistance from your finger will drag a signal to a different potential, or the high input impedance of a signal will allow microscopic noise currents to produce quite high voltages.

Have you watched all signals with an oscilloscope?
