[AMPS] Non Inductive Resistors

Rich,
  I believe this is really getting too picky on the resistor subject.
Of course all discrete components with any wire lead length will have
some inductance. Anyone would know that. However, I think the guy is 
trying to convey that they are not of the "wire wound variety" which 
have a lot of inductance compared to carbon types...
