You are correct to a certain extent, since on the face of it, it "stops
working" in your example.  To make it work, you start using it as a function of
time with complex coordinates instead of a static simple equation.  It still
doesn't change the validity of it, just how you use it.  And the skin effect
just changes what part of the conductor is involved as a function of time.  I'm
an RF and antenna guy.  BTDT.

'nuff said on the list.  Anyone wants to debate this with me, please respond
off list.
