That is nothing more that rich has been doing to other participants 
of the Amps list for years.  Frankly, his constant misrepresentation 
of Wes Stewart's work and work by others is far more "cheap." 

Ever wonder why staff from none of the amateur manufacturers will 
participate here?  Ever notice that people like Dick Erhorn, Dick 
Frey, Wes Stewart, Carl Huether, etc. no longer participate here?  
It's because they gave up after the constant abuse from Rich Measures, 
his refusal to listen to real engineering that failed to support 
his junk science and his constant misrepresentation of the truth.

If you used the full measures SB-220 kit, you made far more changes 
than simply substituting a resistance wire suppressor for the stock 
suppressor.  The changes make a significant difference in anode 
circuit resonances and the suppressors cannot be compared directly 
for effectiveness.
