Good grief, Jim. In private email you said my article
was "great" except for two items, neither of which
had anything to do with power flow, a term you well
know I discarded years ago at your insistence.


I can recall saying that I agreed with you on many occasions. I
haven't known you to say that you agreed with anything I said. I
believe there's a difference.

The IEEE definition you refer to probably deserves a direct quote
here, too. I don't wish to be a party to their being unfairly maligned.



"power-flow vector ... giving magnitude and direction of *power*
per unit-area *propagating* in the wave." emphasis mine.


I can't say there's enough there to do a proper grammatical analysis.
I suppose they could be accused of using poor sentence structure. I'm
not prepared to argue that someone in the IEEE believes that vectors
are actually 'propagating in the wave'. :-)
