Clearly evident, are you trying to be funny? There is nothing "clearly
evident" about 0.6mA REALLY meaning 600mA.

As a matter of fact, it is a BFD now. You wrongly cussed me out, now
you should apologize. Or do you think you are above that?

I admitted that current was the wrong word, WTF do you want me to do?
Do you really think that I don't know the difference between current and
power, or that the current thru all components in a series circuit is
the same? I really didn't expect the pedant police to jump all over it.
Next time I'll be more careful.

The simple fact remains that one LED WILL DISIPATE MORE POWER THAN THE
OTHER DUE TO DIFFERING Vf's. RIGHT??? THE END RESULT IS EXACTLY THE
SAME AS IF ONE DEVICE HOGGED MORE CURRENT, RIGHT??? I have admitted my
error numerous times now. Now, what is your problem?

I'm not saying that you're in the same boat as me, I am saying that you
make mistakes too. What I'd like to know is:

Would you rather have someone point it out nicely, or would you rather
them try to trip you up so that you can dig yourself in deeper? Let me
know so that I may properly appease you in the future.

BTW, I feel that a microcontroller would be a simpler, cheaper, more
reliable (iow better) solution to the problem of resetting the network
appliances on a regular basis. What do you think?
