	In response to Larry <whoever>'s back of the envelope
treatise which proves that it is not possible to pick off enough
energy from high tension wires to light a barn.  You are probably
right about the small magnetic field, but HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF
ELECTRIC FIELDS, BONEHEAD, uh...I mean larry.  FLOURESCENT LIGHTS
DON'T TAKE MUCH POWER ANYWAY.  "Oh, I've never heard of Nikola
Tesla or antennas or Maxwell's equations".  WAKE UP!!!!

I'm really sorry if I have offended the rest of the net, but this
was just too much.  The number of idiots on this net who think
they know something about anything is overwhelming.
