Wow Westom,
You don't have a ****ing clue what you are talking about. Do you ever stop to wonder why you have been booted from nearly every forum you have entered?
Maybe thats because you're a douche and nobody appreciates a troll.

westom has a vested (financial) interest in whole-house surge
suppressers and nothing he says should be taken at face value. He
frequently posts totally incorrect information (for example, he is
unable to differentiate between a direct lightning strike, which almost
no-one can realistically protect against, and a surge caused by a nearby
lightning strike, which has straightforward, effective and well-proven
counter-measures).

westom (who has also posted as westom1, w_tom and w_tom1 morphs his
posting ID to evade killfiles) has been abusing forums for many years
and a common practice of his is lying and twisting what others say to
suit his own agenda.

Can we please boot this guy like the hundreds before us who already have.
