My original remark about about Zo = 1/cC expressed my surprise that such a
relationship existed.

you should have gone with your gut and acknowledged the surprise by checking
your work and finding out why it doesn't exist... or why it is not used
instead of the real LC equations in all the text books.

It was not an original discovery by me, only new knowledge to me.

Ok, if it was not your discovery, quote a reputable source where it was
discovered.
btw, your referenced web page 'speedingedge.com' has the formula correct:
Z0 = 1/(C v)
note, the v, not c in the equation. and CL should be C sub L.
also the uci.edu site has the formula exactly the same, with v instead of c.
so start searching again for one that has c in the equation instead of v.


From your reaction, this must be the first time you have run across the
equation and how it might be derived. I provided two links to web pages
where others have derived the equation from a different aspect, and even
more pathways exist. It seems to be a very fundamental relationship
despite being not well known or wide used.

its the first time, and hopefully the last time i expect to see such an
error.
