Poor you

No. Poor usenet.

Poor every future poster to any newsgroup that asks a simple technical
question and gets told by the peanut gallery that it's important to know
all the ancilliary circumstances surrounding the question when in
reality in the end those circumstances have no bearing on the question
or it's answer.

No bearing on the question or its answer? If there ever was an answer
(how much current is running through a wire at a given moment in time)
that has no bearing on the question (why does my electric bill
occasionally come in at 3x normal), you certainly postulated it. Some of
us are trying to steer you towards relevancy, and you keep on chasing
nonsensical "tests" that could hardly be less informative.
