...by reading this verbal duel over nothing. The original question has been left out in the dirt. If someone calls a transducer a transformer, so be it. Why do you want to change their perception? As long as they have it clear in their heads. Just in case you want some more "fuel", look at this link. You can challenge the notions or learn something new. It's all upto you. And if you think I'll come back and continue the debate, forget it.
