Hang on there Grasshopper...I did specify electro MECHANICAL devices as an exception. You'll get no dispute from me there. As has been more than adequately illustrated in other posts, it is the mega, craptastic, monumental "improvements" that occur in purely electronic devices that a good many of us are taking issue with. We mostly all agree here. Let's talk about "Brilliant Pebbles", "Shumann Wave" devices, "Energy Focusing Rings" for your interconnects, etc...
