I think this quote/poem (which is anonymous to me) is appropriate here.

When no man seeks,=20
Then no man finds,
Where no man looks,=20
Then all are blind.

I'm new to the group and thought I'd chime in.  I have no qualifications =
other than a technician level knowledge and experience with software =
programming and electronics so if that bothers you then please dismiss =
my comments in this regard as rubbish from an uneducated fool.

I recently built this wonderful device which I really haven't gotten =
much chance to experiment with, but intend to sortly.  Great job to all =
those that contributed to this project BTW.  It's a great design.

The whole time I was building this incredible device I was thinking =
"Wow!  Wouldn't it be great if there was an open source TMS project to =
really explore this new frontier in consciousness we're witnessing."

Then someone made one.

To me that's significant because it means that there are other =
like-minded individuals out there who are just too damn curious to wait =
for the mainstream to explore these areas for us.

Foolish perhaps, but then no-one has built a thing yet.  At this point =
it's just a concept after all.

I bet the first human to capture fire burnt his/her hand and then I bet =
those in his group thought he/she was crazy and feared for his/her =
safety.

I can imagine being the first human in my clan to consume a newly =
discovered plant, wondering what/if any reactions I may have but =
realizing it was necessary in order to promote the knowledge of my =
group.

I guess I feel that perhaps basic human curiosity will prompt someone to =
do this sort of thing sooner or later regardless of the potential =
dangers.  Perhaps for a public project like this, the initial dialog =
should be about safety first and foremost which is kind of what I see =
happening here.

May I suggest that this great conversation on TMS safety be moved to the =
newly created Open-rTMS list.

I would love to see some comments from professionals in the medical =

diminishing these possibilities.
