Are you kidding me? I have enjoyed the arguments a lot, and from the first post to the third last (subtracting yours & mine of course), I have come across 2 to 4 circuits all making 12VDC. Check them out going back few posts (Remember to use X2 capacitors with mains - else Melanie would not like it - in case she comes across your circuit )
