Hi John,
I have to set the record straight.
Dennis did not jump on me for describing a way of using
an oscilloscope to measure ESR. Quite the opposite, he
even tried to help with my poorly received ascii art
attempt at displaying a schematic... Curses foiled by
groups.io's website's mandatory proportional type font,
and their overzealous period police!
If anything, I jumped on Dennis, as I think we should be
able to discuss such things on this group without fear of
reprisal. But perhaps not to the exclusion of talking
about scopes.
And, it is way off to spend time plotting how we can get
some cantankerous old fool that designed his own ESR meter
to let us copy his design and sell it among ourselves...
Dennis and I are good friends. There really was no jumping
going on here...

Hello Roy,
I am really surprised at you of all people sounding like a wet blanket.
The owner of this tekscope group told you in no uncertain terms if you
want to talk about ESR Meters to go and form your own group. Which
to your credit you did just that.? I also did not like the way that the owner
of this group, Dennis Tillman, jumped on Mr Chuck Harris for describing
how to use an oscilloscope with a function generator to check capacitors
for value and ESR. Shutting someone up for describing how to use an
oscilloscope on an oscilloscope group is to me just plain crazy.
Those are rules that you have to obey, like them or not.
