Hi John and everyone else,

Sorry that was one of many typing errors in that last letter, I was getting
a bit tired at that stage of the day. I was trying to state the total pop.
of Auckland, and thought that stating that the power was out in the main
business area would suggest an even smaller number of people effected. I
will try and examine my messages a lot more than that little number!

Also, WHEN free energy devices come into the public eye, which of the
following will be true,

1) Massive power generators running a large area
2) Not so massive power generators creating energy for a street
3) 1-2 home generators

The reason I say this is that I would not like a device that sucks in and
uses aether to provide power being used in the number one type situation,
because...

1) there is a good chance that the aether is like Riech's orgone and it may
have some devastating effects on people in the surrounding area,

2) it would also have to be bolted to the ground to stop it from going into
orbit!.

Damn, got to go, running out of time, I'll continue at a later date.

Matthew.
