I think because back then there wasn't a medium like the internet and
personal websites where it was easy
to share both photos and videos.  Nowadays, you can post some photos on a
website among a close community of
tesla coilers and be world famous overnite - as you have clearly done with
the ISSTC.

Remember, Jimmy Hynes was doing DRSSTC work some time ago.  However, because
the coil wasn't documented with
many photos and was plugged much on this board or that board it didn't
receive the attention it deserved.

You not only sparked my interested (no pun intended), but inspired the whole
lot of us.

Keep up the good work Steve.  You inspire all of us!
