Perhaps if Mr. Brock does have me killfiled, someone could explain to
him that if he wants to find relevant hits on 1/4 wave dipole, he can
just put the words in quote marks on Yahoo or Google.

Then the search will return relevant hits, rather than simple
occurrences of the individual words, along with the hits wanted. There
is no doubt in my mind that he got those 39,500 hits. It is symptomatic
of poor database searching technique.

His 39,500 hit number, for all it's sound and fury, signifies nothing.

Then please tell him I will be happy to be filtered from his mail
forever if possible.

What's really scary, Mike, is that folks like Bob believe everything
they read on the web. A manufacturer might advertise a misnomer such
as "1/4-wave dipole" and someone like Bob believes such an item can
really exist, when in fact "1/4-wave" and "dipole" are contradictions.
