For a face-on ellipsoid: $F_{\rm drag}^{\rm ellf}\simeq\frac{8\pi\eta a V}{\ln(2a/b)-0.5}$.\\  For a face-on cylinder: similar to the face-on ellipsoid, but slightly higher.\\  As expected, the face-on bodies (where the motion is perpendicular to the long axis) encounter more resistance to motion than the end-on bodies -- roughly twice as much, depending on the dimensions. Doesn't this mean that, in steady-state, all the DNA will move in the longitudinal direction?    \item Energy dissipation to viscous fluid. What is energy dissipated by electric field?   \end{itemize}  %%------------------------------------------------- 

\item {\it Is the elongated jet derivation valid?} (Since integration along length of the DNA may break L\&L's ``weak momentum injection'' assumption.) Yes it is valid -- this is explicitly addressed on pp. 2-3: the criterion for the submerged jet formulae to be valid is the same as the criterion for linear fluid velocity dependence.  \item Is there anything to learn from the inevitable energy dissipation -- from the electric field to the viscous fluid. How much work is done?  \item Where does the {\it nonequilibrium} stuff happen? There is no mention of linear response or anything like that.  \end{enumerate}
