Hello all,

I'm sure this has been discussed in the past.  I attempted to access the 
archives to look for it, but since I had no idea of when it may have 
been discussed, it was pretty much as dead end. I would have to do a 
manual search of EVERY month of archived material.  I saw no way to do 
any sort of 'global' search.

What is the current thinking of using an equalized resistor, a cap for 
transients, and the diode.  I seem to remember reading that because of 
modern manufacturing, either the resistor, or the cap, or both, were no 
longer needed.

Can someone elaborate, or send me to the right place.
