etc, etc, etc.

Non sequitur. I said nothing about Rich's claims. My criticizing his critics
doesn't mean that I'm defending him or agreeing with him. He doesn't need my
help anyway.

I reiterate:

It is possible for a circuit to be stable under thermal voltages or other
small excitations and yet go into sustained oscillation following receipt of
a sufficiently large and/or sufficiently well-timed transient excitation.

I'll come up an example or two if you'd like.
