Apparently Martzloff, who you cite, agrees.

If trader_4 knew anything about surge protection, then he knew electric companies install (rent) a 'whole house' protector behind the meter. That solution was available even 20 years ago. Why does he not know that? His entire knowledge comes from two subjective citations.

Why does he not post numbers? No numbers are in those citations. He cannot post what was not learned. Those citations hint at the utility provided protector - that even apartment dweller can obtain. Easily overlooked when one does not read to learn.

I reference that utility provide protector days ago. He ignored it. He lied this time due to ignorance.
