The paranoid in me says to ground it too but getting 3-wire cord that looks
good isn't easy. There is some flat 3-wire coed out there, so look around.

I'm rewiring an old lamp and the engineer in me says I should ground the frame
in case the socket goes awry. There's currently no conductivity between the
neutral part of the socket and the frame/pole (isolated by a cardboard sleeve),
so if the hot touches the frame it will become hot.
Paranoid or common sense? Any reason not to?
thanks,
