In regards to Rossi, it is a good thing you are only playing the role of honorable scholar and meticulous librarian - someone championing the cause of cold fusion. I suspect that if your circumstances had been different, and that you had agreed to financially back Rossi's E-Cat you would probably have had a heart attack by now, wondering if you were going to be filthy rich or a pauper. But then... as with most financial backers Rossi would presumably have taken you into his confidence with the signing of a bunch of NDA's, so it's a good chance your blood pressure might have remained within acceptable parameters. ;-) I bet you would have liked to have been a fly on the wall in Rossi & Focardi's lab for the past few years. Wouldn't we all. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
