Hi Richard,

Yes I am of a similar mind...not convinced but intrigued. The
unexplained in this world is always intriguing and I suppose its what
inspires the inquisitive mind, scientist, artist or just plain weirdo
to look for their own answer.

Keep up the good work,

Cheers,

Graham

I know water and gasoline were two of the fluids and various runs had the fluids both static and flowing.

And I don't mean a slight increase in the statistics. It was strong positive result and an obvious anomaly in the data. Ever since then I've been intrigued by this result. Not convinced, but intrigued.

It was at that moment that the not-so-amazing Randy lost all credibility as a debunker and all of his results must be just as suspect as those results he claims to be disproving. He proved to me he and his results are untrustworthy. I've certainly ignored him ever since then.
