<< Uh...let me see if I understand...I have a dam holding back lotsa water
and I remove, say 50% of the dam.  I don't think I would want to go
downstream to see the "reduced" flow; it may end with reduced lifespan.  I
have to agree with RHD on this one.

As I remember (dusting off my flickering brain cell) in some basic
electronics, a decrease in "load" is actually an increase in resistance or
should I say "Z" instead; or not as many thingies sucking juice from the main
power source, therefore a reduction in current.  But in the RHD circuit,
closed loop series voltage divider thingy complete with constant voltage
source, if I remove some of that series resistance Mr. Ohm says the other
resistance will drop the total applied (less wiring,etc.) voltage.  And,
there are subtile dynamic diffs between AC & DC. >>

=8^o Durn that flickering brain cell.  I meant RDH.  Sorry  Robert!!!
