When connecting and disconnecting the battery, does it matter if ground or + goes first.

Everytime I DC the battery to work on the car, I unhook the + lead. Always feel wierd about touching that big cable though. Let a wrench touch the + lead on the starter the other day and it damn near welded to the post, and I almost wet my pants. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
