i know that, i was just trying to get in all the bogus arguments before
anyone else did.

Oh... in that case: "Well done - a noble effort, sir!"

'power waves' are a concept invented to simplify some
concepts, but instead they just hide the important details. we have been
over and over that on here in the past and always end up in the same
place,

What, in this newsgroup?


maybe if i had learned to use smileys it would have helped.... what is
