Both center conductor and shield have series resistance.

True enough. How and when would the flow stabilize and at what
percentage between zero amps and a full short? I get the feeling that
this may be leading towards the characteristic impedance of the line, eg
50 ohms..

What it was was an old wall outlet in the Bell South woman's house next
door and it was leading to a full short.It wasen't making a good
connection,their tv set and stereo and window unit airconditioner and
the lights were dimming low.She replaced that wall outlet and now
everything is honky dory again over there.

That's supposed to be the solution but wouldn't it take an infinite
amount of time for all the occupants to move? They can't all move
instantaneously. The occupant of room #1 has to tell the one in room
#2 to move and so on, ad infinitum.


The moving (ripple?) would take forever, but the inconvenience to each
occupant would be rather short lived. I'm more worried about the new
visitor. If there are already an infinite number of guests in the hotel,
where did the guest appear from? ... and are there fire regulations
being broken by overbooking the rooms?

Good point. I suppose the new visitor came from another universe. ;-)
