Dear Brian,

I was getting curious, because most people with the surname "Lay" do
come from England, but my family came from Germany, near Heidelberg,
in 1849.

Insofar as Web design, I would rather have nothing to do with the Web,
at all, but it's the only way to distribute my free software. I let my
grandson (Nick Zaffora) design my Web page. He's a college student and
really enjoys that sort of thing.

Heidelberg is a really nice place. I've not been there in a few years but
hope to return before too long.

My eldest enjoys webdesign and did a website as part of her Baden Powell
badge in guides.

I've looked at some of the material on your website- useful stuff. I liked
the paper on maximum power transfer.

Not exactly - they came from the town of Bammental, which is on
provincial road 15, south east of Heidelburg, in the direction of
Wiesloch. The town is on the Elsenz river.

I have spent some time around there, and it's very nice.

In the same vein, everybody has heard of Beau Nash
who was responsible for much of the architectural beauty
of the City Of Bath.

No many seem to realise, however, that Nash had
a sleeping partner, Beau Nidle.

or that he couldn't settle down, Nash Rambler.

But he's not wrong at all. It is indeed a ratio - C is proportional to 1/d
so why the argument?

Because the would be stated as:

C is INVERSELY proportional to d

An other example, from the RF field, is the 'inverse square law'. If your
interpretation were correct it would be the "square law".

Not at all. As you (correctly) say, the name in the 'inverse square law'.
It too is a proportional ratio - in that case P in proportional to 1/(d^2).

N'est pas?
