Utter fricking bullshit.

To count as a valid result I have to dismiss the obviously poorly worded questions
beforehand.

I assumed DanielSan would follow the instructions as it was the first trial of the
website and his question obviously had a known answer by Daniel, "what type of

It is really low of you idiots to take any hiccup in early experiments and twist them
into stupid refutations of the now finalized protocol at www.MINDREADING.com

If you don't want to test it, then I don't want to hear your bullshit theories.
