Battery Woes: Follow Up

Hello all,
If any recall, last week I was having battery woes.
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!
It was the power seat belts.
Went to Sears to get a new battery this weekend. Cost me $17 after the pro-rating (bought a new one last year). Just now at lunch, an electrical engineer friend gave me a hand with a multimeter that could handle larger than the typical multimeter current of .5 amps (the one we used could handle 10 amps). Anyway, we pulled every freakin fuse, and still the draw from the battery. I thought (from research here on the board) to look at the seat belt option. Pulled the fuse, and viola!!!! No more leak. The draw before pulling the seatbelt fuse was 1 amp, after, it was less than 10 milli-amps. This makes a huge difference, as I found. My battery was dying overnight beforehand, I suspect no problems from now on.
Thanks to all that offered opinions on my past postings.
If anyone has any questions about what I did, how I diagnosed it (really, all I needed was a nice multimeter!!!) then feel free to ask.
