In your fantasies, Dell.
I debunk LRL's because it's fun and because when you see the patterns of how people get suckered into it, you find the same patterns elsewhere for example in medical fraud. And then there's politics, which is 95% con games from both sides of the aisle. The LRL forum provides a good education for those willing to receive it.
Meanwhile back to your silly argument that metal detector manufacturers are scared schittless of LRL's. LRL's aren't even on the company president's radar screen, several years ago I found out that he didn't even know what they are, I had to explain it to him. Marketing dept. never bothered to tell him, it never occurred to them that LRL's mattered to us. The only employee of my company that posts here is me. If the boss knew that sometimes I lurk here on company time he'd probably kick my axx.
So, that's funny-- you insist that metal detector companies are afraid of LRL's. First we'd have to think that they even matter to the business, and that ain't happened yet!
Then you got the other LRLers who insist that a few metal detector companies lurk here hoping to steal good ideas and get into the LRL business. (I forget, have you played the opposite side of the fence yourself?)
If that's so, where the hell are the good ideas worth stealing? And, how is it humanly possible that someone like Carl or myself could after all these years on this (and the TNet) forums not know how to make an LRL? Hell, even Thomas and..... (drum roll) Dell Himself make 'em! And if those things were too difficult to copy, at least we could glue a pocket calculator to a coathanger. Meanwhile, Carl and George have actually published instructions on how to build an LRL and I gather several people who post here are giving it a shot.
But I gotta give you credit, Dell, we've seen silliness a lot worse. At least you're not trying to prove to the world that LRL's must work because after all, some guy on another continent sticks a bowl to his forehead.
