    	Let's see.  250K of the first run of NTSC DTV's in 2004, 250K of   
   the new NTSC run in 2005... estimate of 100K for PAL DTV's... 100K for   
   Hummer DTV's (all based on Jeri's numbers).  So with the few that have   
   been reported faulty here and on other sites, that does not add up to 100K   
   of PAL DTV's being faulty (especially with a non-scientific poll led   
   here).  Thus, the statement, "every" or "virtually every" or "virtually   
   all", has not been proven.

    	The process... the solution has been worked out, i.e., change the   
   resistors of the PAL DTV.  What you are doing now is questioning my   
   integrity.  In other words, you are calling me a liar.  I do not like   
   repeating myself; I do not like arguing (I find it a waste of time).  I   
   have stated my observations a few times already.  The more you argue, the   
   less cooperative I will be.   
    	Therefore, I will show my PAL DTV to friendly, reasonable people,   
   like those at the Vintage Computer Festival, to Commodore and Amiga clubs,   
   and to my friends in Australia (when I get there in June), to my friends   
   and contacts in Europe (when I return in a few years).  To those who argue   
   and question my integrity, they will get nothing.   
      
    					Next up, showing the PAL DTV to   
    					the TOGA club on Dec. 17,
