not all who wander are lost
I think the mods could check the IP and know. I've seen people booted on other forums for doing that. Anyway, not saying they are the same just that I think it could be checked out.

When someone is too immature and stubborn to admit they are wrong in the face of overwhelming evidence, and they are hostile to boot, it's not really worthwhile to discuss things with them. I'm not saying that's you. Just a thought...

Light bulbs are non-linear. Diodes are non-linear. Photo-anythings are non-linear. Hi-K ceramic capacitors are non-linear. Even the sacred vacuum tube is non-linear. By the "rules" most of us agree on, R, L & C of quality are basically linear even if they have resistive losses. An RC circuit is linear- try making a useful mixer out of it. That's actually a good test- if you can build a mixer or a parametric amplifier out of it, it's probably non-linear. No cheating by saturation. Naturally, almost anything becomes non-linear if you apply enough voltage to it.
Now, how linear is linear? Nothing is perfect if you look closely enough.
On the tree in the woods thing, the modern version is, "If a man says something and there's no woman around to hear it, is he still wrong?":yes:

Again, winding resistance has >nothing< to do with the fact that an inductor is linear.
Sir, you persistently insult me, you attack nonstop, you repeatedly claim I do not know what I am doing because I said, exactly, "inductors are linear circuit elements." (You also attack other highly regarded experts in our industry for vague and unsubstantiated reasons.) I have tried to gently correct you in respectful, and sometimes frustrated and disrespectful ways. But, you learn nothing, admit no error, and make grandiose claims about yourself and your eccentric friends. I've had it with you. Further, your attitude almost invariably contributes to the premature closure of interesting threads that might otherwise be valuable.
So why don't you just go away. You contribute nothing but incorrect information here.

Closed - again! This is off the real topic. :nono:
