I'm (hopefully) bowing out of this thread, but an interesting point
regarding w_tom.....

According to a Google Groups search, he has posted thousands of messages
preaching his surge suppressor theories starting in mid-2001. That seems
to be his main interest, and is called an idiot, moron, and almost every
other derogatory name in the book on threads just like this one that go
on and on about lightning protection insisting that evryone knows nothing
and he is the surge suppressor god.

Funny thing. Posts from years back saying the exact same things of this
post, like a cut & paste. He's apparently had that 200 V square-wave UPS
since 2001. Just go to show you that technology changes, Usenet kooks
don't.

I wish I would have seen it earlier.

Apparently, w_tom is to surge supression as _______ is to Windows
licensing.

I apologize to you and all following this thread. And to 'you-know-who'
for the licensing remark.
