Has anyone here built and used Bob Roberts' SafeBack discharger?

I was joking.

Um one thing I'm not clear on, when i slide the screwdriver under the cup, do I then take the cup and anode OUT? or am I supposed to leave it in?

If I take it out, what do I do to "discharge it again" as people suggest? Do I just waggle the screwdriver in the hole in the tube??

YES and NO!

After you slide the screw driver under there, wait about 2-3 min. then do it again.  If you don't hear a sound the second time (a pop or a sizzle) then you can remove the suction cup and there is NO need to stick the screwdriver into the hole at all!  If on the 2nd time you still hear a sound, wait another 2-3 min and do it again.

Sorry, but you are wrong, XtraSmiley .

Please discharge the monitor again before you hook it back up.  I learned the hard way. I was re-attaching the suction cup and using a screw driver to squeeze the clip together and my hand slipped from the handle of the screw driver to the metal shaft.  Wow, talk about a jolt!

I'm sure it wasn't full voltage, since I had discharged it already, but for some reason, a charge can build again. In my situation it had been several hours that the monitor was sitting.

Anyway, even if you've discharded a monitor, go ahead and do it again just before you mess with the suction cup.
