Seems Mrs. PWB, May Belt, is already steps ahead of currs like me:

"Yes, I know what you mean about the 'strands' in some of the discussion groups. The 'non-thinkers' react at being asked to 'think' by mockery, ridicule and insults. Intelligent people are then reluctant to 'put their heads above the parapet' because no one likes being mocked, ridiculed and insulted - so the 'non-thinkers' win !!! and nothing progresses forward. Even when a sensible, intelligent discussion is started, the 'ridiculers' take over and the sensible ones retire and the 'ridiculers' win again!!"

See? Accept what the Belts put forth, you're sensible and intelligent. Take exception and you're a "non-thinker". Ouch, that really adversely affected my energy patterns.

Check out the PWB price list with links to product descriptions -- I quite like the "Quantum Clip", an alligator clip with a short wire hanging off the end that has a nut on it, and sells for $875. Think I'll get two, one for each nipple.

Looking over quickly their web page..well they do have some radical ideas..some which I have an open mind to..I have been working on the mechanical grounding of some musical instruments. I have found that these, in some cases several hundred year old instruments have a memory all their own. That you can also influence this memory with the introduction of a new material or grounding technique and that this newly introduced memory will disappear slowly after you reintroduce the old material and regress to the former grounding method. You can hear this change occurr over a playing period of 20 minutes or so. The wood has a vibrational pattern which can be altered and redirected by a change in coupling and grounding. Tom

Zaikesman: now I'm starting to see why the British have the expression, "As mad as a clockwork orange." :-)

Theaudiotweak, no musical instrument I know of has ever been influenced by something I can stick in my pocket. Acoustic grounding of a string instrument through tail pieces, end pins, chin rests of differing designs and materials is another kettle of fish all together. Even modifying instrument resonance by the application internal/external of any material, or altering the composition / shape / etc. . . of any component will alter the sound. . . but putting a 'lucky charm' in your pocket will not be noticeably helpful, even with cryo-treated batteries, that would be dead by definition.
