Consumer Reports did normal mode testing of protectors in 1994. APC
once provided numbers for normal mode transients. But neither that
Consumer Reports test nor APC made any claims about a type of transient
that typically does damage.

CR then made some very abridged claims in 2000. However something
strange happened. Suddenly CR eight year indexes starting 2003 dropped
all references to surge protector reviews. Those 2000 reviews should
remain in the CR indexs until 2008. But by 2003, CR makes those 2000
tests difficult to find. Tests that provide few details and apparently
did not test per how damage typically occurs.

Larry, Moe and Curly did discuss many things. However they also
could not tell us What's on first, Who's on second, and Where is third.
Important questions of that age. Today, we only google for live's
little questions.
