Mr. Traub continued, "We have devoted a great deal of attention to addressing the phenomenon of electro-static discharge To liberate or free; to terminate or extinguish.

A mortgage is discharged if it has been carried out to the full extent originally contemplated or terminated prior to total execution.  ("ESD (1) (Electronic Software Distribution) Distributing new software and upgrades via the network rather than individual installations on each machine.
