glupson,Your interaction with the Tuners reminds me of an episode of Oh No Ross and Carrie.  It’s a really entertaining podcast where Ross and Carrie “join” or interact with various fringe movements and report on the experience:http://ohnopodcast....

jf47tabove is what is called a fake statement, as anyone can read on this threadInfortunately for you, anyone on this thread can see how assiduously Michael avoided answering questions raised about measurements that would support his claim that ti...
