Paul,
The E3610A posting was a good one. This explains why some high-end oscillator
sockets have a fuse, series diode, and zener shunt - protects the expensive
oscillator from both reverse- and over-voltage.
I'll look into the spam issue. If there's more than a couple contact me
off-list and we'll debug it.
We've been having issues with aol, yahoo, comcast postings recently. Might be
related.
When in doubt, you can always read messages at:

Sometimes it's actually more convenient to read them there by author or thread
than by inbox.
