| Ok, Cactus88, I'll get on it right away, oh wait, didn't someone
| on these groups say that the end of the oil age was upon us? Didn't they
| say they had the engine that was ending the oil crisis. Didn't they say
| it wasn't a tale? Didn't a lot of folks flame them but they went bravely
| on stating that the US Navy or Big three Auto boys short changed them or
| something to that effect? Doesn't he have a buddy named Morituri-Max
| that won't apparently leave him alone and follows him around like a
| puppy? And what ever happened to Mr.Cagle's none nuclear regulatory
| license necessary miniature fusion device?

| You sound very urgent about your convictions to help solve the world
| crisis of energy demands. Send money now to the Uncle Al save the

| Cactus88 wants a workable solution now. Ok, ok, I'll get on it right
