I'm all set up to test the ability of a Shakti stone to modify the magnetic
field in the vicinity of the stone.
This would be done with a Litz-wound ferrite rod, and a Tektronix 7904
oscilloscope with a 7A22 plugin.

There must be someone, who having purchased a Shakti stone, has come to the
conclusion it is useless.
I will return the stone to the lender in the condition it was received. No
invasive procedures will be performed.

I don't think that a stipulation would be acceptable to the audience at
large, but if you wish to make a statement regarding your own experiments on
the Stone, it would be additive to the discussion.

Whatever the results are, they will doubtless be subject to intepretation by

I wonder if any of the r.a.o. participants actually believe the Stone works.

Scott, your statement is both an incorrect interpretation, as well as a
gratuitous insult.
It surprises me that you would deliberately make a comment devoid of
constructive potential, considering your passionate defense of people who
are "special". Sanctimonious to the core, you prefer to occupy a rotating
bully pulpit. You are a very ordinary person, and you vastly overestimate
your own intellectual capacity.

Why are you bringing me into this? I've never even seen one of those
paperweights.

If you're hinting at the class warfare thing, I don't give a damn what
somebody sells and somebody else buys. If I were clever enough to
manufacture a gimmick like the Shakti and get some reviewers to chime in,
I'd also be clever enough to make money doing something productive.

You want to go down in history as the man who tested the Shakti Stone?
It would be like trying to give a rock an IQ test and the stone should
have more sense than to waste time with you. I would not let you press
the tits on a duracell battery to test it, you will note.

Scott, the only Stone available to me is a loan from Kal. I cannot transfer
it to anyone; I must return it directly to him. However, I encourage you to
investigate the Stone in whatever ways you wish. A simple gaussmeter is not
likely to be revealing. An audio component is surrounded by a complex hash
of EMF, which the meter cannot analyze.
