and yet you say we are wrong saying too strong a signal is more
common than too weak

I'll try to go more slowly for you this time...

Theoretically the system once worked. As the system ages the signal level
*drops* as cables and whatnot become lossy.

Methinks you just want to be argumentative

Meknows you can't read, or think.
