@everybody

Listen very carefully, I shall only say this once:
Could you guys PLEASE stay on topic and just "IGNORE" all remarks made by OUmon etc..
Don't get so distracted. Just stop waisting time on him/her/them. You're playing "THEIR" game by helping them pollute this topic
I know it's hard to ignore such irritants, but please just do.
Consider it as an itch (Itch (Latin: pruritus) is defined as an unpleasant sensation that evokes the desire or reflex to scratch.) but if you scratch it, it will get worse..

No wonder you were accused of being another PBersonality, you sound like the parrot on his shoulder.

I won't comment anymore, think my suggestions are not useful. best of luck

Steady, Larry, you know what JM says about people who use multiple nics!

I'm sorry, that was a bit rude of me.
Let me introduce myself.
My Name is Mark . I live in the Netherlands.
I'm a Software Engineer and I know very little of electronics.
What I do know is that if we don't do something about the oil crisis (like inventing a Over Unity device) we're not about to see cheap car fuel soon, and that's probably not the least of our problems (different topic).
So I'm very interested in the test results and your findings on this Perepiteia.
I don't have any input on this matter and I won't be able to replicate any of your tests. So you probably won't here much of me again.
I just like to read and learn and be all exited about this new discovery.
Keep up the good work.!
Good luck to you Thane.

Best regards,

Mark
