Re: Jason Alexander apologizes really well!
I don't think it requires deep discussion, the bottom line here is that people (mainly Americans) are too oversensitive and uptight, and thats all it really is.

Re: Looking for 1000' rolls of RG-6 siamese.
Belden cable has 6db more loss in it at 1000mhz than commscope cable does. All copper ain't all its cracked up to be, I know this from experience. But if you're using this for security cams, you're not doing anything above 50mhz anyway, usually. Some of your runs will be 1000ft? How are you getting ...

Re: Attention Defect Disorder (ADD)
I have ADD, and when I was first put on medication, the difference was huge. I went from struggling to get C and B grades to very easily having nearly all high A's.
A good deal of that page describes it very well, but only a doctor can diagnose & prescribe a treatment.

Are you wanting two coax's or a coax and a (single)twisted pair for powering? Are you going to be running through any airways used for cold-air return, or going through any firebreaks?

Guzzle? My Grand Caravan averages 26mpg highway.

But even at that, you probably wouldn't do better...
