>Resistors don't create resonances

Boy, oh boy.  I thought we'd been through this before:

1.) A resistor has inductance
2.) This inductance is created by the resistive material as well as lead 
lengths
3.) Therefore it is also an inductor as well as a resistor
4.) Since it is an inductor it will have a self resonant frequency.
5.) Since it has a self resonant frequency, it will create resonances.

Hopefully the ratio of the resistance to the inductance in the resistor 
will be large enough that the resistance will kill the Q of the inductor 
and so the resonance effect will be minimized.  But it doesn't eliminate 
it.

ANY inductor or any part with inductance has a resonance.
