Wrong. Some people just make stuff up to try to upset other people
George. If you read carefully enough, you'll figure out who does that
on a regular basis.

They are very good rectifier blocks George, that is a fact. I don't
use them in commercial designs because of ratings and cost, but for
one off projects it beats the heck out of etching a big board, and
figuring out how to mount it.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with or cheap about them, and they
certainly are not "microwave oven diodes".
