No problem with the engineering advice! Now here's a little legal as well...

In the United States, we have a little thing called ex post facto. In short, you cant be convicted for breaking a law you commit before the law was passed. From what I understand, your city/county/state hasnt passed the anti-bully laws. If this is the case, you dont have to worry about what you have said in the past. I dont know if we have federal laws yet though, might want to look into that...

Just to cover you ass, I would print out everything you said, especially your apology page. Make sure everything is dated, signed by yourself and a witness. Have two signed copies. Take one, put it in a safe. Take the other,  mail it to a family member. That way, you will have your copy, plus a back up copy with a postal date stamped. Make sure your relative does not open the letter, that would void the postal time stamp.

Best of luck!

Thanks PurePower, that is a big relief off of my mind.  I also found the following link informative and I think you may find it better explains my point of view on this topic.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm

PURE POWER I dont think I explained myself to you   yes   I know about cranes [A lot] and I have NEVER PUT ANT EXTRA WEIGHT ON A LIFTING JIB for what purpose ? so I can lift less? If ARCHER has added weights to the lifting jib [so it lifts less] then he is an idiot and dont tell me I have it backwards that he is really only trying to lift 1 unit   with 20 units  THERE ARE NO REMAINING CONTROL RODS HE USED THEM FOR TUNING THE RIG   YOUR PRESENTATION IS NOT ACCURATE TAKE OFF YOUR CONTOL RODS  Chet  WHO HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ADD WEIGHT TO THE WORK/ LIFT END OF A CRANE ??

@Jratcliff

You wont go to jail for cyber-bullying Archer.  He lives in Australia, and therefore does NOT maintain the rights of American citizens.  He has no protection from cyber-bullying under these laws, once they go into effect.

Since the internet is not a location-restrictive domain, The "attacked" person would have to LIVE in the state that was prosecuting you. If they dont live in that state,. then the crime is outside of that states Jurisdiction.
Only the government could prosecute you, and (in most cases) there would have to be verifyable punitive damages as a result of your bullying. 

It was a joke people; a joke not unlike this thread, a joke not unlike Archer Quinn.  This whole thing is a farce and I cannot believe any one of you is taking it seriously.  Never mind, back to building your levers, siphons, and gravity wheels.  Ignore me....

Rat buz off there are idiots here trying not to be [myself anyway]
@purepower I dont need an essay just tell me where have you seen this before as I have NEVER  you are not doing what archer was  he was trying to get a 20 -1 lift with the smallest possible lever using the extra weight on the long side to assist  in the work performed  Chet

[ramset]

ARCHERS complete point was that the extra falling weight on the one unit side[the weight of the lever itself] would give more work out with just one unit in adding the two falling together and doing more work by gravity in less distance Chet
