[Spam] RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Variable Transformer

HI Andy,

No, I didn't mean to imply anything about anybody. And I'm perfectly fine
with questions and answers! I'd have given a more elaborate answer, but was
short on time. I was a bit hasty in my original "NO". I don't wish to
offend anyone! Neither do I want to see someone hurt.

We did get some good explanations, better then I could have come up with!

Hopefully this thread will come up the next time someone searches for
"VARIAC".
