viewtopic.php?p=32958#p32958I came on to the scene and met Andrew, on the ttbrown forum in August of 2006. Needless to say, we eventually didn't hit it off too well. I was too exact at times and developed a reputation for being precise, as much as possible, when explaining something scientific whether it be established or pseudo. It wasn't that Andrew was wrong, it was more that he did a "Cliff's note" at times which I felt would not stand the test of time and that became a rub. So to sum it up, in order to get to know the man, I created a character named Bulwark for I knew that Mikado didn't have a snowballs chance in hell of getting Andrew to open up more. I choose the name because part of it's definition is any person or thing which gives strong support or encouragement in time of need, danger, or doubt. So, I felt that encouragement was needed to get Andrew to talk more, explain more, to open up more. This was all done with Linda's blessing.
Things went along smoothly and eventually, a meeting was had in Las Vegas in March of 2008. The principles involved with that meeting were Linda, Andrew, Trickfox, Radomir and myself. Kim was along but stayed in our room. I won't go into the details of that meeting for there are two versions out there and it is not pertinent to this post but I will leave the judgement of those versions as to which one is correct to whom ever wishes to judge. The important part of mentioning this meeting is that a spirit of cooperation was going to be embraced by those attending to try and bring Brown's work to the forefront. This also meant a spirit of honesty between those agreeing and in keeping with that honesty, I told Andrew about Bulwark and why it was done. As far as I knew, it was over and done and I am sure it was mutual. Later, it was only Linda that attempted to use this factoid but as far as I am concerned, the principles involved are what matter.
The trip to Vegas that year was memorable in that we walked the strip one day on a Sunday but you never would have known it was the Lord's day. Kim and Andrew hit it off quite well. In fact, Andrew made a bet with her for a modest 25 cents (1/4 of one USD for those US currency challenged) that she would take one of those card ads from someone who was advertising for the prostitutes. Well, Kim did one better, every one she ran into she took the cards and Andrew found out that Kim is one who will take a bet and made sure that she asked for blondes only which I think took Andrew by surprise and he had to pay the whopping sum of $.25 cents.
As said, I know it was memorable but the agreement was not meant to survive and from my point of view, I blame Trickfox for that. I was convinced at the time, by Linda and Trickfox, that it was Andrew who was throwing up the stumbling blocks but as always, hindsight is the best teacher or revealer of facts. Andrew put up on a restricted portion of the Qualight site by password only, papers of which the Kitselman Math (since then it has been discovered who the real scrivener of the math was) that Trickfox immediately downloaded. Radomir, Trickfox and myself all had passwords to this area. A disagreement developed between Andrew and Trickfox. Trickfox was arguing over decisions that were made in Vegas and didn't wish to go in that direction. After about two weeks or so, I decided to go in the direction of Trickfox and the agreement was dissolved. Andrew took away access to the hidden portion, Trickfox gave me the PDF by email and then later claimed that I broke a trust in him in that he was the only one given the math...who gives a crap for that just goes along with his personality.
The result of all this is that Andrew slowly was being pushed away by Linda and the group that was there, which we called the Alexis group for the name of the resort we stayed at, was dissolved. It was at this time that we referred to what Andrew was doing as Hut A and what we were doing as Hut B in case anyone wondered as to why I refer sometimes to Hut B.
I started to write a book about my experiences. It amassed 20 chapters about my experience at the time. I have added to it a bit and hope to complete it some day but the problem is, the story is not over yet. It remains, a work in progress as I continue to gather information, not only of the science in regard to Brown but also in regard to his personal life that to date, has been totally avoided by those reporting.
Eventually, a schism developed between what Andrew was doing and what Hut B was doing with either one not knowing each others work. Hut B eventually stopped telling Linda what was being done at her own request, so that she wouldn't slip in talking with Andrew. I have no idea what was taking place with any arrangement they might have had but at times Linda would talk about Andrew.
Andrew eventually, through his wife, attempted to get a grant to work on room temperature super conductivity based upon experiments he performed. It was perhaps a monumental step forward in regards to Brown's work combined with Andrews' own insight and work but it was not apparently meant to be.
At the time of the dust up in August of 2011 between Linda and myself, Andrew and I had a conversation in the fall of that year. I warned him about certain "things". I heard the angst in his voice as to the manner he was treated and that is a cross I will bear for being a participant, no matter how minor or major, and if by chance he ever reads here one day, I hope he sees that this is a public apology for that treatment of my turning my back. I used to say that all he wanted was to just own the rights to all or any of Brown's work. Maybe it was true and maybe it wasn't but in any event, anyone who develops anything on their own should have the right to capitalize upon it. I hope he is successful.
