The phrase "None-dissipative resistance" is utter nonsence.

It serves no practical purpose whatsover. It has no educational value such
as imaginary jX.

Its very mention serves only to confuse, particularly to apprentices in the
electrical engineering trade.

As a practicing engineer for nigh on 60 years I had never heard of it until
the old wives and authors on this newsgroup began wittering about it for the
sole but futile purpose of demonstrating how knowledgeable they are and for
making money. I have managed very well without it thank you.

They are from the same class as they who consider radiation from a dipole is
mainly from the middle third. But I suppose they must be tolerated. Live
and let live, eh!

And, to the particular individual concerned, I managed to write this in
plain English without swallowing Websters Morocco-bound Dictionary.

Having got that off my chest I will finish this nice glass of Californian
Red (yes, American. I don't believe in trade sanctions) and retire to bed.
Good night everybody.
