Heh, I just can't stay away from this thread.

Anyway, the above is forgetting half of the topic name.. electrical.

Not much electrical about global warming arguments, and it's has little to 
do with hooking up electronic components.  So by the web site definition 
it is not an EE discussion.

But thats written by the admins/owner and so it really boils down to what 
the admins say.  If it really is an EE subject, the web site could use a 
rewrite. :-)

Anyway again, go PIC!
