I would really doubt that I am the only one who objects to the constraints
being discussed. I build to a certain personal style. It seems that that
style doesn't fit withing the reality that is developing. If that is true,
I would rather keep my models on my own web page.
I'm all about see what comes from other people's imagination, not what
other people can design using current technology.

I don't mind talking about science. In fact, I find it fun. However, I don't
like mixing science and Legos unless it's the physics behind a technic style
creation.
I'm one of those people who is always striving to think outside of the box.
When walls start going up, then you can't see the possibilities on the other
side. Why limit yourself? For instance, why should "transporter" technology
be shunned? It has been proven that energy has mass. Am I mistaken here? If
not, that must mean that somewhere in the grand scheme of things that
conversely mass has energy. Why then could there not conceivably be an
energy/mass converter?
Here's a corallary.
I have some magnets, I need electricity. Why not take a bunch of wire and
spin it next to the magnet real fast? I can do the opposite. I can take a
big coil of wire and apply an electrical current and make a magnet out of
it.
