I have to admit that once upon a time some educated readers read this
Usenet Newsgroup simply for comic relief. Sadly, these days times seem
to have changed, an today posts on the newsgroup are almost entirely
from those unfortunatly both poorly educated and with mental problems.

Years back on this Newsgroup we could read silly but entertaining posts
on Free Energy, Brown's Gas, Magnetic Machines, and just about every
silly idea that tickled one's imagination, most well written by people
like Michael Hannon and others.

Back then, there were a great deal of silly posts made by people that
didn't quite comprehend the 'Conservation of Energy' or the principles
of 'Thermodynamics', but still then their posts were clever enough to
have a bit of fun with their debunking. Not so today.

Many of today's readers have been on this Newsgroup long enough to
recall the 'Car that Ran on Water', Brown's Gas, and other pseudo-
scientific claims. Sadly, because they are now all gone into history,
because none of them actually worked.

Today's posters don't appear to have any real sense of imagination, so
their posting are simply boring to read.

Am I the only one that notices this?

No, Harry, I too miss Michael's posts. He had a much better imagination
and writing style than the current crop of looneys, and was far more
entertaining.

Looking on the bright side, I hope his absence is due to him finally
getting his meds properly adjusted, and perhaps actually studying some
physics. I think he had potential, so maybe he's finally using it.

The femtohannon remains an immutable physical standard.

Of which none of the current crop of epsilon minuses cannot remotely approach.
