I responded to myths with facts. I don't care how those facts and
numbers might make another emotional (angry). Their emotions are not
relevant . Emotions imply that a flammer has minimal technical
knowledge or is emotionally insecure. In Bud's case, profits are at
risk.

Posted are citation after citation followed by facts, numbers, and
quotes from professional after professional ... that all dispute Bud's
plug-in protector claims. Even Bud's own citations show how a plug-in
protector (without earthing) can even create appliance damage. Page
42 Figure 8 - 8000 volts earthed destructively through a TV because a
plug-in protector was too close to the appliance and too far from
earth ground. Bud IEEE citation defines damage encouraged by a plug-in
protector.

My replies ignored flamming by another (other than to note those
insults routinely exist). Posted was the science that has been
demonstrated for 100 years (even in US patents), proven by
professional papers over 70 years ago, and found in properly earthed
(whole house) protectors. A protector that costs about $1 per
protected appliance - tens of times less money compared to what Bud
promotes.

Let's see. If Bud was posting technical facts, then his citations
would not contradict him. If Bud was posting reality, then he could
quote a manufacturer spec for protection from each type of surge. He
refuses. No manufacturer claims that protection promoted by Bud. Is
that called flamming? No. That is replying to his insults with
technical facts.

What provides protection? Where is surge energy dissipated? Earth
ground. What does a plug-in protector not connect to? Earth ground.
What does every responsible source say is necessary for surge
protection?
... your surge protector will work by diverting surges to earth.
The best surge protector in the world can be useless if
grounding is not done properly.

That's another quote direct from a Bud citation. Is that
flamming ... or simply posting technical facts? Quoted from Bud's
citation ... that says why a plug-in protector does not protect from
the typically destructive type of surge.

Every responsible source notes the importance of earthing. The
effective 'whole house' protector come from responsible manufacturers
such as GE, Intermatic, Keison, Cutler-Hammer, Square D, Siemens,
Polyphaser, Levition ... Not on that list are protectors that Bud
recommends such as Monster Cable. But again the reality stated
without flames: a protector is only as effective as its earth
ground. Again - technical facts are provided and those myths
exposed.
