I just re-read your post to be sure I had addressed everything and I find it very amusing that you have offered to be Archer's accountant.

Sorry to steal Newt's thunder but let's look at some "FACTS":

- You have claimed to be a 20 year old college student
- You claim to be an engineer of some sort of another
- You claim to work for a Fortune 500 company

Now you some how have the skills and time to be an accountant!?!?!?

And that's just in this thread!

No wonder why Archer would say "No Thanks!" if you offered to do his numbers. You are obviously full of something, and by something I don't mean "information" or "knowledge".

@Exx

Thank you for the appreciation.

People just don't seem to understand help can come in forms other than "go AQ go!"

@Shak

I'm sorry, how have you humiliated me many times before. You explain why you have faith in AQ: not because he has done anything before but because he is trying. Ok, I understand that. I can't necessarily agree, but I understand.

You also point out "just under $2000." Ok, probably should have double checked the site before I posted that last post, got me there. But I still don't feel humiliated. And all this really does is side-steps the real point of the post: AQs supporters have donated very little. How much did you donate?

Go ahead, try to pull apart my posts. But before you go digging for a slip up, don't go looking for things where I misquote someone or frivolous things like that. Try to critique me on my engineering and analysis, you know, the stuff that really matters. You will end up only humiliating yourself.

And no, the "old me" is not back. Again, I haven't tried to prove or disprove anything. In fact, I haven't really made any statements. I have only asked questions to which I don't know the answers. If this instigates any doubt in your own stance, maybe you should take a moment to reevaluate yourself.

And a $55 average makes my $100 incentive look pretty damn good.

Anyone care to share how much they donated so we can see who is all bark and no bite?

Look. I gave him only 10$ because currently I can't afford to give him more money but I like his work and his enthusiasm.
But my donated 10$ are still more than yours fictional 100$. Anybody can say "I will give him 10000000$ when he bla bla bla" but that is just an empty talk.
If he succeeds he won't need your 100$ dollars but while building he does.

Well, 21, just had my birthday. I am a jr. engineering at a Fortune 500 company, will be a full engineer upon graduation. Ever heard of "internships" or "part-time?" How is that so far fetched? Really, youd eat ice cream off the ass of a guy who has had 300 jobs, but the idea of a college student with a great early start on his career is outragous?

And why wouldn't I, or any engineer, make a good accountant? We are all pretty damn good with numbers, I think we can handle some basic arithmetic...

IMHO, I believe the unwarranted bashing of Archer is directly related to the fact that he does not have a working version.....yet. 

I've been lurking for a while now in a variety of threads on a variety of concepts.  Most threads, from what I gather, start off with someone providing a video of something they have accomplished or seen, working or not. 

The "non-skeptics" analyse, try and replicate, and come to their own conclusions and share, pro or con.  I am blown away at how many devices Clanzer has tried. 

The "true skeptics" show/tell us why it will not work, usually due to some sort of engineering or physics background.  All based on what they have seen put forth.  I truly respect this type of skepticism.

The "armchair skeptics" just say, nope, not gonna work.  These are the people I have the most problems with, me being someone who is just trying to understand the basic concepts at this point.  Just as I want to know how something works, I want someone to tell me, intelligently why it won't (see "true skeptic" above).

I think we have a problem here because the "true skeptics" among us really have nothing to critique at this point so some, sadly, have been forced (human nature) to become "armchairs" for the time being.  The thread has become what it has because a date was set, and not achieved, again, human nature.  Once a "working" device is presented, I think we will see a shift back to actual analysis and testing.

Personally, I do not fall into any of these categories, mainly due to lack of knowledge/expertise.  But I love the show, the potential, even if nothing comes of it.  I am really good at using commas though, or so I've been told.

And, for the record, I put in $50 Cdn.  I've yet to find something that has entertained my mind for so much time that cost so little.  Do I think AQ will get it working ? I don't know, we can only wait.

Well, that's my 2 cents, back to lurking/learning/watching.
