[Boatanchors] W= J/s AND Siemens

[Ian Wilson]

The original poster did say that a Siemen was an Ohm standing on its head.

Personally I don't care what units we use as long as they are precise enough
to
avoid making avoidable errors. Please don't get me started on the use of
different
meanings for "Al" by ferrite material manufacturers.
