The hunger strike has been on for a little over two weeks now.
It has definitely helped to draw attention to this very real 
problem.  I have been in contact with people who do take this
very seriously.  It has been gratifying that I am generally
not dismissed as nuts by people who are in any position to know
anything about these matters.  Somewhat alarmingly, mine does
not seem to be an isolated case.

With regard to some of the replies to my previous posts, it
just shows again that a little knowledge is indeed a dangerous 
thing.  (Surprise: I took psyc 101 too, long ago.)  Looking
out on the web you will find a lot of people with stories just
like mine, and plenty of information and references on these new 
weapons that people would prefer to wish away.  Use your educations to 
sort through a little of that, see if you can dismiss it all as 
delusion.  (Try, say, "microwave harassment" as a starting keyword.)

Flame if you feel the need.
