Why did you go after Scientific American so many years ago? Why did you also post that series of email exchanges pertaining to that interesting event? (They were enjoyable to read, BTW.) Were you not in a sense defending the "honor" of all the papers loaded out to lenr-canr.org? Obviously, CF is still considered controversial, even a bogus science, by the perceptions of many individuals. Why not point out some of the fallacies that continue to perpetuate such misperceptions? It's certainly not my intention or suggestion that lenr-canr.org needs to defend itself. If anything, I would hope the suggested document would be perceived more as an informative essay in regards to the fallacies certain individuals hide behind when they refuse to accept the accumulation of scientific evidence posted out at lenr-canr.org. This is just a personal opinion. A suggestion. I'm not trying to make more busy work for your already busy schedule. ;-) Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
