. . . and I thought it had to do with the fact that the higher the frequency,
the more the electricity will travel the surface of the body and not penetrate
it.  It seem that the time has come to call on Wirt for the answer :-).

          ==========================================================
Mathematics may be likened to a large rock whose interior composition we
wish to examine. The older mathematicians appear as persevering stone
cutters slowly attempting to demolish the rock from the outside with hammer
and chisel. The later mathematicians resemble expert miners who seek
vulnerable veins, drill into these strategic places, and then blast the rock
apart with well placed internal charges.
