Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

Line B is a 1M ohm scope input. Line A goes to another scope input which is 1M as well. Is it true in this scenario the total 'load' seen by the source is now 500K?

There is some information missing in your description:
There are also other impedances involved like the impedance of the source and the characteristic impedance of the BNC connector (and also cables?), which have to be taken into consideration.
