In a sense, you should insist on a refund. A transistor is a transistor. Absent the potential of a bias on the base your "back to back diodes" are as useless as a tit on a bull.
Did you take a course on "bull" in college as well? I hope the doping lecture was for the benefit of the general public because if it was intended for me, I can only chuckle.

That's a nice straw man you've got there. "Absent the potential of a bias on the base" my hind end. Yeah, and "absent a battery a radio is just a hunk of metal and plastic". Like that disproves that radios work? Your squirming aside, if you take two PN junctions (diodes) and join them P-to-P or N-to-N, you will indeed have constructed a working transistor (although not a practical one if the middle of the "sandwich" is too thick). I presented specific facts and argument in the post to which you are responding, and I note you haven't attempted to refute a single one of them -- the best you can do is mouth off and make personally insulting remarks. Typical.
Take your sophistry elsewhere, we're not in the market today.

I'm sure that *is* all you can do. Many of the rest of us are capable of a higher level of discourse, however.
I don't know what your problem is, but kindly do not continue to share it with us unless you've got something worthwhile to add to the conversation.
