In the past I believe Krivit has strongly given the impression that scientific fraud was perpetuated by McKubre. I recall this particular issue hit me right in the face when I was still a New Energy Times board member. This happened a year or two ago, when Krivit went on an internet radio show and implied that key CF researchers had "lied" about their research. Krivit didn't directly say they "lied" about their data during the interview, but he made it quite clear what he wanted the listeners to draw such a conclusion. I privately talked about the content of Krivit's interview to a lawyer I have known for years. His response back to me was that Krivit was using "weasel words"... to imply what he really wanted his listeners to conclude. It was the final straw for me - one of the primary reasons I resigned from the NET board of directors. The lawyer thought that my decision to resign was a wise decision on my part. Personally, I have yet to understand what "cold fusion" really is, what it actually stands for, and particularly the actual physics that might allegedly be behind it. I'm nevertheless astonished that there are people who want to turn the "CF" word into a pariah - and then conveniently insert their own brand word. I don't think anything good will come of this. Certainly not for Mr. Krivit. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
