Tom,
I see that along with knowing a little about physics, you are a comedian also.
Strange, In my 45 years of ham radio and 30 years as a practicing Electronics
Engineer, I've never heard of a "parasitic resistor". I've heard of
parasitics and I've heard of resistors(as you say, resisstors don't
oscillate), but not parasitic resistors.
I guess we just have to wait for the young kids to come along and show us
where we have gone wrong.
