I have 2 buildings about 140 feet from each other which I need to run
ethernet between.  I have decided to run direct bury thinwire and am
aware that there could be a possible ground loop problem between the
two buildings.  I have not checked this, but know it can be.  Is this 
something about which I should be concerned???  Also, why should
a coax only be grounded on 1 side of a segment?  Why not put a small
resistance at the other end to drain that small amount of current which
might be there?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
