Let's have a reminder of the forum rules:
The term "remote sensing" is used to describe scientifically viable methods of detecting geophysical anomalies from a distance. It is also used to describe the less scientific method of "long-range locating", which is engulfed in controversy.
Note the sentence referring to "long-range locating". If you make outlandish claims then you must expect to be challenged. There is no need to get upset. Just state your case and move on.
This forum is for the open discussion of either method. Because LRL-oriented forums can quickly degrade into personal conflicts, this forum will be strictly controlled. Rules are still simple:- You must be a registered user to post here. Guests may read.
- Be polite. Name calling will get you banned quickly.
- Be factual. If you make an extraordinary claim, be prepared to get challenged.
In general, try not to take differences of opinions personally.
Recently this Remote Sensing Forum has degraded into a circus. In general we do not like to moderate this forum closely, although I have occasionally removed certain attachments.
Now here's the most important part:
Postings considered to be inflammatory can be reported to Admin by clicking the little red triangle icon at the top of each post. Please use this only when absolutely necessary... I would like to keep this forum as open as possible, and do not care to mediate every conversation.
... and nobody has reported a single post during the recent circus! Therefore the assumption is that everyone is happy with the current postings? 
Please can I ask everyone to cool it regarding the jokes, etc., and let's try to focus on the technical aspects of remote sensing and LRLs, whatever you consider them to be. 
Thanks again to Hung for pointing out the degradation in quality of recent posts.

I appreciate your good sense of intervention as current adminstrator of this forum and I agree that it's very hard to keep an eye all the time on what happens here in terms of flaming and BS floating around, but you also have to admit that before your 'current job' you also were included in the package of skepthics who chose to ridicularize many of the LRL proponents claims, ideas and opinions. Specially my own.
Then things got out of hand and people such as Max and Jplayer started their picture galleries and cartoons regalia with Max now taking this to unaceptable limits.
I don't know about the other LRL proponents here, but I watch this forum to trade ideas about LRLs, techiniques involved and occasionally to help any Mineoro user here who happens to hang around.
I never had the intention to discuss my latest findings, prove any scientific discovery which is against 'officially released' science, or post any kind of working LRL schematics here.
Now let's get real.
This will never happen among LRL proponents here. For the skepthics who in their wildest dreams thought they would come here facing someday a complete schematic of these devices, loose your hope. Don't be silly. The LRL proponents who develop their projects, such as Esteban and a few others, will never be that naive to publish their work in an open and public forum.
I think you people know the obvious reasons for that, but I think it's worth mention the reasons for those who are blinded by make believing...
They would never do it, because anyone can steal their project, ideas, concepts and in case they have idustrial capability, start to make money from it in a matter of seconds.
So, wake up and face reality.
But that does not justify the attacks, jokes and ridicule they are exposed in public. Treat them with respect and when you don't swallow their claims or ideas, simply say you don't agree. Respect they reserve themselves to omit details or keep it secret. Understand they cannot divulge it.
Start to act as 3 to 4 people I'm aware in this forum who never said a word against anything or anybody, did their homework and now have their LRLs working.
If the skepthics keep the jokes and the idiotic attitudes, I'm sure many here will leave this forum for a better option.
