That doesn't sound like Walter gave you permission to me.

I have backtracked to try to find out what happened. I asked
Walt's permission to post the following:

Walter Maxwell wrote:
If an inductance is in series with a line that has no reflections,
the current will be the same at both ends of the inductor.

If an inductance is in series with a line that has reflections,
the current will NOT be the same at both ends of the inductor.

Consequently, circuit analysis will not work when both forward
and reflected currents are present in a lumped circuit.

He agreed but suggested I also include his fourth statement which
followed the above three statements.

When reflections are present, a current node and a current loop
can appear at separate points on an inductor simultaneously.

When I went back to copy and paste bottom-up from his email
in order to include his fourth assertion, I inadvertently copied
one too many sentences at the top. It is true that I didn't have
Walt's permission to publish that extra first sentence in his email.
I regret that accidental mistake and wish I could take it back.
And of course, neither Walt nor anyone else in the universe agrees
with me 100%.

But please note that accidentally including that first sentence doesn't
change the technical content of Walt's other four assertions which should
be allowed to stand as is until further notice.
