    quite true, but no one is disputing ohm's law, or what MMW stands for, and such topics are filling this forum.
    I=V/R so R=V/I and V=I*R
    P=V*I
    (I=Amps, V=volts, P= power in watts, R=resistance in ohms)

    True. But the application of such basic principles is often skewed or mixed in with anecdotal "proof". How do you filter such posts?

    How did Wikipedia work out so well? It's just a matter having more people to maintain it, than to make it useless (or worse). I think that it is more likely to be useful here with these members, but it very well could become trash.
    The need i see is primarily for terminology, which should be rather clear cut.
