	What it says.  Which is, i think, fairly clear.
	cf any book on 'wireless': the amount of the decrement,
	and the reasons therefor are well accounted for.

	?
	I said nothing remotely like this, or relating to this.
	I pointed out that conservation of energy and conventional
	EM accounted for the observed damping.

	If he did.
	Good luck.
