- Your ability to communicate sarcasm without a smiley is nice to see.
- But I fear that your comments may mask one important point of my post,
- which was to demonstrate that many of the questions asked here can be
- sufficiently answered by a tiny bit of research. Need I explain why
- actually doing such research is useful?
-
- I have visited a hydroelectric plant, and it was rather interesting.
- Also of interest is the issue of grid phase maintenance, about which
- there have been many guesses and few facts posted, and about which my
- encyclopedia is mute.
