Well, more hostility and sarcasm. You will be receiving another letter from my attorneys.

Virtually every time I walked along the roof of a Milwaukee Electric as it climbed the Rockies -- with a letter from the president in one hand -- I found the locomotive to be pulling the entire train. In a technique used by Milwaukee Road operators, I accurately measured electric voltage in the trolley wires by waving my hand through the electric fields of the trolley wire. Using this technique I came to the remarkable conclusion that one Milwaukee electric was the equivalent to 8 diesels. Virtually the most efficient locomotive in American history.

I have walked under power lines. I have been surrounded by GE appliances for 60 years and I am virtually a GE engineer. Sarcastic and hostile people on this board have none of these credentials.
