Indeed. And the rest of us, too.

You're speaking about what?

in the Express layout that was done by Ron Worley, one of the 40uF 500V PS filter caps has its positive end connected to a ground lug through two 100K 3W CC resistors. What does this do?

Those are bleeder resistors, drain the cap on shut off.
