Electro-mechanical engines of Perpetual Motion and Natural Selection

Hi Alan,As incredible as it might seem, there is more than one Alan Cresswell, and he has registered here as Dr. Cresswell. The other Alan Cresswell has expressed disappointment that he cannot use the ID "Alan Cresswell" here because it is already taken by yourself, but I note the following:

• You posted on only three consecutive days in early January.
  ​
• You only posted to this thread.
  ​
• You left an open discussion and haven't returned in a month.

Unless I hear back from you, either by a post to this thread or by email to Admin, then I'll make your ID available to the other Alan Cresswell, if he decides he really wants it.------------------

The discussion boards have a set of Forum Guidelines that are intended to promote civil and productive discussion. Enforcement of the guidelines ranges from temporary suspensions of posting privileges to permanent banning.------------------

This post is off-topic. Please delete the contents and repost to one of the relevant threads in the Coffee House forum. Thanks!------------------

While only administrators and moderators can delete posts, anyone may edit their own posts. John's interpretation of your message was that it was more about your technology than the possibility of war, and in that case it should remain in this forum. But if not then it would be appropriate to use the edit function to replace the contents with a short note such as, "Moved to the such-and-so thread of the Coffee House forum", then repost it there.------------------

Note to all:This thread's purpose is not to make fun of someone who believes in perpetual motion machines. Please cease these types of posts.Please only post messages that address Alan Cresswell's ideas about perpetual motion. If you are seeking flaws, seek them in his ideas, not in his person.Note to Alan Cresswell:It appears to me that your ideas about perpetual motion are secondary to your desire to mix it up on a discussion board. If your next several posts do not confine themselves strictly to discussion of your ideas then your posting privileges will be suspended. If this should occur then they can be reinstated by sending email to Admin pledging to follow the Forum Guidelines and administrator requests in the future.------------------

Janus20, aka Alan Cresswell, is so obviously a loon and provides so much entertainment value that there will be little effort from moderators at reining in his behavior. Anyone who becomes a target and takes it seriously should question their own sanity, but in any case don't come crying to board administration.
