Well, back on the farm, they say that even a blind sow finds an acorn once in a while. This story is still unfolding, and perhaps the best thing that can happen to Yildiz now - is to rest his case on the opinion and reputation of Dr. Duarte ... and not to mention the PESN connection. If he can get a longer run in before leaving Geneva, all the better.
I have not heard anything negative so far on Dr. Duarte, who is employed at a fairly prestigious University and has his own reputation on the line. The 5.5 hour run stands on its own as some kind of anomaly, does it not? -----Original Message----- From: Vorl Bek Analog Fan wrote: > How could anyone be surprised that there is negativity towards > Sterling's capers? > > As you pointed out, this is exactly the same as countless free > energy scams Sterling has been involved with.....

It wasn't hard to see more or less how it would turn out, but I originally looked at the Yildiz saga as entertainment. At this point, though, it is more sad than anything else. Sterling abandoned the demo for today and went to France to see the 'Kapagen Villa', another overunity scam of some kind.
