And of course, not to be outdone by Linda, fruitbat has to weigh in.

Did I hear right, someone burned an electrostatic generator?
I'm sorry, Chris Bolland, whilst I took your carefully worded and friendly advice to heart, you clearly are some sort of pretender, when it comes to love of the equipment and worship of the science..
My lack of funds and lebensraum is a well known limitation, yet I still refuse to let go of my lovely art deco styled 1950/60's huge cast aluminium centrifuge. You however, can casually throw away an electrostatic generator!! All around the world as word of this perfidy spreads, the backs of white lab coats are being turned towards you.
Seriously, you there's no excuse for throwing away or destroying stuff like that, you sell it on ebay or at a swap meet, so as someone else can get some fun out of it. Do you want to live in a world where we are chained to this rock forever using technologys that are expensive and ruinous to the ecology? I'll be the first to admit that it's unlikely some steampunk teenager is going to free us all from the bad technolgy and gravity, but IMHO it's still a bit crappy to discard the rarer tools when they cross your path.
Will someone please make all this madness stop? It's embarrassing to watch.
Oops sorry, I'm supposed to be taking a "posting holiday". Got me a willpower that's as strong as plasticine, sometimes...

Since you come here to read on a regular basis, fruitbat, I will endeavour to comply with your request.
No, you don't have it right. You seem to have contracted that same disease that Linda appears to have where you get a piece correct but blend it with something else. Andy did not burn anything. Kim was accused of burning papers by Linda who had it on good authority that they were burned.
1. Photos are up showing that the books still exist and were never burned. There goes Linda's "good authority"...surprised?...most are probably not.
2. Andy "owned" what he had. Does it matter how much he paid for it? No, it shouldn't. I am sure it is not any different than the electrostatic speaker tube that didn't work for crap that is in the possession of Pladuim. I would bet that whatever the device was that Andy had/has performed (I say "has" because I would bet he still has it and only was looking for a reaction from the Queen of Prevarication) just as well as the speaker tube. Now really, think about this. If the device truly worked/functioned, why would the individual sell it so cheap to Andy? If it proved to be truly functional then why wouldn't they capitalize upon it functioning?
You use the word "fun" as if it is a toy. Is that what the pursuit of knowledge is to you...just fun with a toy? Just playtime? Do you really think that Andy would so casually post what he did if it worked/functioned? You prove what I say about you. You comment about things and individuals without truly knowing them.
And by the way.....it is not "Chris Bolland", you can't even get his name correct but you know enough to comment...... ass-wipe(someone who comments without having the facts correct)...it is quite apparent who the real pretender is.
