Lightning protection

The same lie and other drivel. w__ believes plug-in suppressors never work.

But still no links to sources that say plug-in sources are NOT effective.
*Maybe there are none w_.*

And no answers to simple questions:
- Why do the only 2 examples of protection in the IEEE guide use plug-in
suppressors?
- Why does the NIST guide says plug-in suppressors are "the easiest
solution"?
- Why does the IEEE Emerald book include plug-in suppressors as an
effective surge protection device?
- Why did Martzloff say in the “surging” paper "One solution.
illustrated in this paper, is the insertion of a properly designed surge
reference equalizer [multiport plug-in surge suppressor].
- IEEE guide pg 42 - how does the plug-in suppressor made the condition
[8,000V] at the distant TV any worse than if the plug-in suppressor was
not present [10,000V].
*Why no answers no w_?*

The IEEE and NIST guides both say plug-in suppressors work.

Bizarre claim - plug-in surge suppressors don't work
No sources that say plug-in suppressors do NOT work.
Twists opposing sources to say the opposite of what they really say -
hanford.
Attempts to discredit opponents.
w_ is a purveyor of junk science.

When there is a bad thunderstorm I always disconnect the Phone line DSL
or when I had it the regular phone line because I had lightning take out
a modem when I used dial up and a friend of mine had lightning take out
his whole computer so I wouldn't fool with devices but to be safe I
disconnect.
