*particle* accelerators are surely not the way to test any theory at
the *macroscopic* level, Mr.Roberts.

When i refer to Maxwell's Theory, i mean the theory of J.C.Maxwell,
Mr.Roberts. Too bad if that confuses you, but surely it is you who 
should find another name for your bastardized version eh!

Don't try to imply that i have said that it is the "air" which
waves, Mr.Roberts. I have never said that.  Sure it is the E and B
fields which wave, as i have said previously on this very thread eh!

Neither Maxwell, not i, ever thought the "medium" waves, Mr.Roberts.
It's the electric and magnetic field which do the waving in an
e-m wave.
