I can put a resistor after a voltage that's too high for the circuit? Of course the resistor must handle the current. A decoupling capacitor after the resistor. Any problems with that? Thanks.
Use resistor instead of regulator?

In the spirit of your question that is all I will say. -- Jasen.

Given a current draw change of sufficient length in time (length determined by capicator size), the voltage across the capacitor will settle to that which remains after the new drop across the resistor. Wire up a test circuit on a breadboard and measure the changes yourself.

Why are you fighting this? Do you think it makes you look smart?

The voltage variation can be substantial. Rate of change is a different measure than voltage magnitude.> Why are you fighting this?Note that I could ask you the same question. My answer is correct, yours is incorrect.

Lots of reasons for non-answers, crappy answers, and venting. When a group is dying, for example. Non-answers are entirely understandable and no problem with me. Normally, people answer questions because they like the question, and because they want to see their writing on USENET. Then there are not-quite-grown-ups who love playing with an imaginary kill file friend (they are not skilled enough to control).
