Obviously more than you, Al.  I spent 24 years actually doing
this for a living while you spent your time asking professionals
(you know, guys like me) to write about it.  You then incorporate
the things those of us who know how to install write into
articles in SDM.

Clearly you missed class the day they explained how resistors
function.

I thought that was the janitor's location.

I really don't care where you went to school or what you did
before you started writing articles for SDM.  You're wrong about
resistor tolerance.  Deal with it and move on.

My statement was factual, plain and simple.  You surmised how
they work and you were wrong.  I know how they work.  Get over
it.  You're only making yourself look foolish trying to argue
this.
