Dear Rich, your patience is admirable.

The world of electrical engineering would have been a far more more
understandable place if Thevenin and other trivial theorem inventors of his
ilk had never existed. As things are, the only purpose served by such
superfluous statements of the bleeding obvious is to assist university
professors and Ph.D's in justifying their grants and salaries.


But people must be allowed to make livings and reputations in the best way
they can even if, inadvertently, they turn out to be a handicap. The human
race is now so wealthy the economy can well afford them. ;o)


By the way, what DID Thevenin say? I don't recall ever having knew. Have
I never progressed beyond V = I*R ?
