OK, so how do you damp a shield?

Let's see: damping involves the introduction of lossiness. In a mechanical system, that would call for a shock absorber. In an electrical system, resistance would be needed. But how to introduce resistance into a shield? Interrupt the shield every few inches and solder a resistor from one section to the next?

Hmm, maybe not. How about a resistor between shield and center conductor every few inches. It would load down the source, though. Okay, resistors between shield ground and chassis ground? With a third wire to carry the chassis ground?
