The last two digests have been full of things like this:
This geometric dependence of R (i.e. R being proportional to L/A^2) i=
s
inconsistent with that of electrical resistance in a uniform conducti=
ng
wire which is instead proportional to L/A. The reason for this
difference of behavior is that in the case of electrical resistance t=
he
dissipation is a bulk effect caused by carrier scattering throughout =
the
and much worse, with residues of high-bit characters and bizarre word-
wrappings across lines. What are y'all doing?
