If you are talking about the .asc file I posted on the 3rd June, Q2
isn't "normally inverted" - its mostly on, and it gets turned off for
the 30nsec in which the stretched pulse is being generated. Inverted
operation of a bipolar transistor is usually taken to mean running
current through them in the opposite direction than is seen in normal
operation.
C2 isn't carrying any current worth worrying about. It stabilises the
voltage at the base of Q3 against the base current drawn when the output
pulse is turned on and turned off, -6.7mA when it is turned on an +2mA
when it is turned off, and holds the voltage excursion down to 3.7mV,
not that I ever bothered working this out.
If you want to discuss when the circuit does and how it does it, feel
free, but this wasn't a good start.
