Al - over the years you have offered very good advice, saving my team many long hours - and we thank you for it. But your a little off the rails here and I'm not sure where you get the impression I am "enraged". This thread is about stranded vs solid wire on the robots. I pointed out a common reason an engineer might use stranded vs solid wire followed by stating that the effect is diminished at DC and that flexibility and tooling are the primary reasons to use stranded wire on the robot. This is not a very controversial statement. You quoted a single line from the post (leaving out relevant and qualifying conditions), added some skin effect numbers from wikipedia (BTW it is more like 9.8mm for good copper wire at 60Hz), proceeded to correct the post and stated a similar conclusion to my own. I thought it an odd thing to do. Perhaps I am too thin-skinned.

I've politely amended your posts a few times over the years and I apologize if you were/are upset or offended in any way. Next time you amend something I've posted, please (at a minimum) quote the relevant text. Done.

Kind Regards,
Keith
