I hardly think that keeping the terms of a discussion in line with
correct terminology is showing off in any way! If you don't understand
the basics, it is difficult to advance beyond them, don't you agree?
Impedance and resistance are simply not the same thing. Rather than just
blurt that out, I thought I would define the difference for those who
may not know. I didn't mean to nitpick! I'll go back in my cave now. :(
