Nigel,
Thanks for letting us have your name.

But have you looked at the block schematic and understood how it works
from that?

So the only way to prove this for you is not empirically, it has to be
numerically! Enjoy your wait!

And what part of "confirmed in practice" have you not understood so
far. Your saying one thing and then something different. I am totally
confused by your use of the English language despite coming from
somewhere that teaches the Queen's English.

John spent a month testing LOTS of different devices with thei TPLL
against a $$$$ TSC trying to see if it would fail but he could not. He
did come to some conclusions as to the limited range that the TPLL can
be used over and we accept that. So, you want to be pedantic and say
that if you can only prove it empirically, then you have to test it in
an infinite number of ways. It's a bloody good job that the guy who
invented the lightbulb only had to do it 14,000 times and not an
infinite number of times as we would all be in the dark now, wouldn't
we.

Do you believe in God? Go ahead and prove it!

Actually, over the whole period that the TPLL has been discussed on
this list it's my observation that a lot of the input from "others"
has NOT been "well meant and useful advice" and your just proving it
here and now.

And your still asking the same old questions over and over again when
you should have realised that your not talking to someone who can give
you the answers you need to satisfy YOU. It's no good trying to get
blood out of a stone, perhaps it's your turn to donate some of the red
stuff and try to understand this thing without someone being able to
describe it your language.
OK, I hear you say, so let's have a full schematic for us to work
with. Well, I'll tell you exactly what will happen if that gets put on
the table shall I. There will be a flood of posts from certain
quarters who will say, you shouldn't do it like that, you should do it
like this, what a stupid design, this is all wrong, what a stupid chap
this is! Get the idea. If you haven't already spotted this, this list
is a TOUGH ROOM and there is no sympathy for anyone who is unable to
show they are top of the class. Well, it's for time-nuts, so I agree
it's a bleeding edge technical group but there are a lot of people on
this list who are really fascinated by this area and really want to
learn and contribute. I've thrown up a good deal of "stupid" ideas
since I joined this group but have learnt a great deal on the subject,
perhaps you should learn some humility.

A lot of you bully boys have held Warren up against the wall by the
throat and demanded answers so he has spilt the beans in whatever way
he felt would get you off his back. So don't shovel up this sort of BS
Nigel, take a step back and see what has been going on here. It's time
for us all to play nicely in the sandpit.
