Is that the guy who said he figured out a way to safely handle downed power lines and was going to go try it out? Dave. |

I think he sells surge suppressor strips and he uses the newsgroups to promote his products by arguing with people about their effectiveness. That would be a distinct improvement! His posts are all about how surge protection has long been well understood and effective protection isn't that hard but the methods discussed in this thread are all wrong & stupid. There is never any suggestion about what one should actually do, not even an obviously biased one like "buy my product". -- Jim Prescott - Computing and Networking Group School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, University of Rochester, NY |

Many have recently filtered out Googlegroups becauise it's become the overwhelming source of newsgroup spam. That's coincidentally who wacko_tom posts through. I only see his nonsense if someone else is foolish enough to respond to his rants. Maybe he taken a hiatus after the right propper whopping he got here last week. I thought it was hillarious after he derided the makers of plug-in surge protectors and then gave us his list of "real companies", like Intermatic, GE, Leviton, etc., that were experts at it. Only problem was, all of the companies on his list sell plug-in ones too. |
