     Humor did not seem to work, let's try analysis.  The statement
     "Heat (watts) cannot result at B until Amps (energy flow) can
     be detected at A" is false.  This faulty reasoning rules out
     finite transmission speed occurring in wires or any other media
     including a vacuum, a process that has been observed (to put it mildly).

     I enjoy sneering, it works out many sets of facial muscles.
     However, my dear Mr. Ostrowski, I read the article long ago.  
     He seemed to have missed or ignored several vital points
     regarding signal transmission.  I repeat my objection that the 
     requirements for this journal are somewhat less stringent than
     mainline journals, and consequently verification of any concepts 
     promulgated therein requires more evidence.  

     Also, it has been 13 years since the paper appeared.  It was
     probably on the mind of the author prior to that.  Where are the
     results?
  
     Another hint, it will be very difficult for you to 'convince' us
     of the correctness of your presentation if you keep making fundamental
     errors in said presentation.
