OK, now we have Tom's list of the "responsible" companies who know all
about surge protection. Funny thing though, most of these responsible
companies on the list actually sell plug in surge protectors as part
of their product lines.

Intermatic sells plug-ins:

So does Leviton:

Here's what Siemens has to say about plug-ins:

That should take care of that specious argument as well as showing how
in touch with these companies product lines you really are.

Nice list.

You can add Cuttler Hammer - they make plug-in suppressors.

And looking at another favorite of w_ - SquareD *service panel*
suppressors:

For the 'best' suppressor - SDSB1175C
- The literature says "electronic equipment may need additional
protection by installing plug-in [suppressors] at the point of use."
- The connected equipment warranty $ is double when the suppressors "is
used in conjunction with ... a point of use surge protective device."

For the next best suppressor - QO2175SB and HOM2175SB
- The connected equipment warranty $ does not include "electronic
devices such as: microwave ovens, audio and stereo components, video
equipment, televisions, and computers."


Alas - all but one of w_'s "responsible companies" are actually
irresponsible and "hype myths".

And what a surprise, w_ had no real response. I wonder why?



I'm sure you know even less about WMDs.

On the contrary, w_ was chief advisor to W on Wmds. Note the
corresponding lack of support for w_’s claim that plug-in suppressors do
NOT work.


Good news w_ - religious fanatics can be cured!!! Look in the yellow
pages for "deprogrammers".
