This is an excellent example of how you misquote people and 
change the words Rich.

Thank you!


Here, Measures claims I said: 

> It happened during the Grate Debate.  Mr. Rauch has always maintained that
> virtually no current passes through suppressor inductors. 

Then in the next breath, Measures claims I said:

> through L-supp.   Quoting Mr. Rauch: 'In a typical parasitic suppressor,
> the coil is in parallel with a low-value resistor. This combination is in
> series with the signal path, usually in the anode circuit between the tube
> and the plate tuning capacitor. The coil's reactance increases with
> frequency, and at VHF most of the signal path is through the resistor. It
> is plainly evident that the dominant component at VHF is the resistor, not
> the coil. Changing the coil has very little effect on VHF Q."  (p.71,

Measures has a creative reading-skill problem.

The "most" I said changes to "virtually all" when run through the 
"Measures"  filter.

The same is true for the the scientific notation comments. Rich 
gave a formula, I asked how or where he obtained that formula, and 
he accused me of not understating scientific notation.

It appears the Measure's game is you can't beat the guy on 
technical grounds, change what he says by taking it out of context.
