The Rockslam as described by Hubbard, could, (as I told Pxxxxxx some time ago) be created, by an intermittent in line with the cans. I suggested that with slight pressure on the plug, it wouls be possible to create a 'rockslam'. I based this on my understanding of electronics. Well the mighty Jxxx put me on the spot today, and said, OK, make it rockslam... And It did. I suggest that the Phatman, having failed physics and gotten a D incalculus, was not gifted with certain abilities availble to others. I suggest that the rockslam as described by hubbard was just a corroded emeter plug. So much for all those evil purps.... Arnaldo Lerma
