Couldn't resist it!

Regarding the so-called "signal lines", you can get the real story here:
http://www.geotech1.com/cgi-bin/page...rl_qa.dat&zoom
It appears most evident that J_P is not really interested in any sort of evidence why Signal Lines (LRL related) DO NOT exist.

From the reference you gave, it clearly states why they aren't real.

Q: Why do people believe signal lines exist?
A: MFDs are dowsing devices. As such, people who use them often experience the "dowsing response", which is usually a sensation that the device (or rods) is doing something on its own, such as moving or hesitating. Even though the real source of this sensation comes from the movement of the user's own hand, people assume that it is caused by an external influence. The appearance that the MFD responds as if there is an external influence, has manifested itself into a belief that the MFD is responding to an external influence. The belief of choice is the signal line.


Even if I had the time to scan and post all of my data and test protocol details, it would not be convincing to J_P. (and I don't have the time) He'd rather keep running around in proverbial circles, looking for the proper test equipment, locating volunteers, questioning the validity of his sample Examiner... and all other manner of stall tactics.

Why? I've asked myself. Is he that afraid of the outcome, such that avoiding the test altogether precludes ever having to face the reality of actually making a decision... and taking a firm stance.

Must be terribly uncomfortable, always straddling the fence he is perched on.
