No you are being weird. check the thread. vkj returned to normal = current transformers. Copied from above:

Actually, my *current* transformer is the one I'm using now. My *potential* transformer is the one I might use in the future. Paul=20

Bwahahahahahaha! You finally said something funny. Now if you'd just learn what dash-dash-space does we'll remove you from the senility list.

I'm bobbin and weavin' in response to your input. Running a sinusoidal pattern while the crowd executes a perfect square=20 "wave"! But I better stop before I get all fluxed up. Paul=20
