  I've always been confrontational, but you really take the cake, Peter!

  "R" is the color red, so what is the 100 supposed to indicate? I've
never before seen color used in a circuit description. There is no
common electrical unit I am aware of that is designated by an "R" in
that manner.  Is this more of your view of "being practical?"

  I apologize to the members of the list, but this guy's attitude is
beginning to really rankle on me. I did manage to control myself to the
extent of watching my language, but it wasnt easy!
