Mike,

You should be quoting Frank, not me. Look closer at my post. I posted
links
that indicate what Frank wrote my be wrong. Read the material in the links
and decide for yourself.

(You would need a pile of cash to buy enough fittings, anyway. )

OK, you've got a point. Stated in plain English, my imaginary transmission
line doesn't have any series resistance or dielectric leakage. The
resistance of a long run of transmission line can be significant, and would
be infinite over a infinate length. Any conductance of the dielectric would
limit the DC impedance to some high value in a infinate length.

I just got around to checking out the links, and I see it's a nit worth
picking. One of which I'd have been happy to have picked myself, had I
caught it.
