John Field's self-image is healthily positive, but regrettably
unrealistic.

Sure, and you KNOW that the moon is made of green cheese.

Fine. I've been posting for more than decade now, so I really ought to
be a by-word.

What do you want to know about? I'm not going to get a job as a
climate scientist, but at least I know enough to be able to
demonstrate that James Arthur doesn't know what he is talking about.

Sure. I've seen it happen. I once inadvertently provoked a Ph.D.
researcher at Texas Instruments (U.K.) into doing it to himself.

The circuit that squegged in real life used bipolar transistors.

The LTSpice model with MOSFETs didn't squeq either, but I'll get
worried about that when I've got around to building an real example.
It's taking longer than it should.
