In a way this could be considered nit picking. I agree that the
overall form is a sinusoid. I just don't like the implication that all
sinusiods are unchanged by amplification, positve or negative. Granted
the amplitude of the form is alterd and little on none of the rest of
the function is not. Yet the amplitude is a partt of a sinusoidal
waveform.

again it is a minor point.


True, and your point is perfectly valid. You are technically correct
that amplification, inversion and phase shift are types of distortion.
But for the purpose of -this- discussion (audio distortion caused by
Brian's noise-board), it seems you are trying to sand the table-top
before cutting down the tree. Now if this were carried over to a new
thread it might be fun....
