Sorry you've missed the point, Cecil. I can only hope the lurkers get
it.

(Aside: I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "no net steady-state
energy storage." If that's true, then there's never ANY current in the
inductor, because the energy stored in an inductor's magnetic field is
i^2*L/2, and that's always positive for non-zero i.)

Cheers,
