@ERS

I see your crystal ball is back from a thorough service down at Hogwarts.

It's quite simple, if you do not wish to donate or contribute - don't. If it turns out I'm just a sucker, that's my problem. You're not going to change that no matter how hard you try. I'm happy to try to change the world one post/donation/whatever at a time, regardless of how futile or fruitful my efforts may be. I dare say the people here trying to find an alternative power for the good of mankind have already contributed a great deal more than yourself in this area.

If you truly believe what you are saying and you know you can't change our minds, I can't understand the psychology behind you posting here. Sure, I could understand why you'd visit, there have been some rather entertaining posts. But you really must have a screw loose if you feel the need to continually come here and tell us we're all wrong. Do you ever walk into a church or a mosque or a synagogue and start telling everyone they're wrong? I don't consider this a religion but I do believe in the potential for this technology as do a bunch of others, and maybe one day you will benefit from it. So stop insulting my intelligence and beliefs and go and spend your time doing something constructive. Believe it or not doing something constructive might actually feel better than posting on this thread in an attempt to put some people who clearly have different beliefs to you down.

LOL. I am way past the street fighting days around the Flemington flats so it would be a no contest!

I know you will not change your mind. However other infrequent posters lurking may be swayed by what I have to say so I will keep trying.

Your assumption that I do not make a constructive contribution to the community in need is both invalid and wrong.

As an atheist I am not a member of any church or religion and therefore would not even consider entering their place of worship to do anything, much less put down their beliefs. However I am a member of this forum. So here I am, posting! Of course you don't need to read my stuff. But you will. As I read yours.

Fair game. I must admit, it has been entertaining.
It sounds like it might have been one hell of a fight if you weren't past your prime. LOL 
I'm glad you managed to keep your sense of humour in check, some people around here have lost the plot.
Anyway, I hope you're wrong, and you probably hope you're wrong too but only time will tell so let's see how it pans out.
Even if Archer doesn't deliver (although I have an inkling he will) I can definitely say at the very least I've gotten plenty out of this so far. And OU.com has definitely gotten some mileage out of it.
Take care ERS. You're not such a bad bloke after all

PS I still hope you're wrong

Humour is the best vitamin going around.

@ERS

I thought it was a movie title or song title.
I'll have to hire that one out. I don't think I have seen it before... it was made before I was born 
Anyway, that's enough off-topic posts from me for the day. I'm due for a nap soon.
Have fun all, and (try to) be kind to each other.

EDIT: Just noticed Evil Roy Slade has Mickey Rooney in it. I'll definitely hire it out.

@ERS,

love your 6-step process 

it's so true, and it didn't take you long to notice the pattern

seems most don't

thanks, had a good laugh too
