"The discussion of scientific or technical topics on Usenet has often
wound up as a dichotomy between an advanced academic newsgroup and one
that is overwhelmed with kooky or naive laypeople with pet theories,
pie-in-the-sky proposals, and flawed proofs of long-standing challenges
in fields (Fermat's Theorem being most popular). Throw in some obviously
unbalanced individuals, personal attacks, repetitive agenda posting,
public meltdowns, and the inevitable detour into political arguments,
and these newsgroups became unusable for purpose."

I could put you in touch with someone who's invented a free-energy
device - it's not just a perpetual motion machine; all he needs is some
investment to get going.

Ok you can save on my fee; I'll crosspost to uae. If my ISP allows it.

YOu're a bit late, fella.

At Earth's equator, the speed of Earth's spin (free energy/perpetual
motion) is about 1,000 miles per hour.

The problem now is how to harness that energy.
