He drives me nuts doing that. He is not devious about technical claims, as far as I know, but often contradictory. Probably confused. Developing new technology is inherently confusing. He is not an effective liar. No one I know is fooled by him about anything of importance. Take, for example, all this talk about whether he shipped the reactor not. What difference does that make? Who cares? I am not a stockholder, or Rossi's banker. He does not owe me any money, so why should I give a damn whether he has sold 1 reactor, 13 reactors, or zero reactors? It is none of my business! It not the business of any person contributing to this forum. None one of you has *any right to know anything*about Rossi's sales or shipping status. Stop your childish umbrage! If he tells you about his sales, he might be lying. Corporations large and small often lie about their sales. It is the most common thing imaginable. As I said, you would have to shut down all of Wall Street if such lies were against the law. It is childish nonsense to get worked up about this. Unless you happen to be the one he is suppose to be shipping goods to! You people remind me of 1950s movie star fans who idolize the stars and think the stars have some sort of obligation to live out their fantasies, or to live a moral, upstanding life. Rossi owes you nothing. He can lie though his teeth to you all day long if he feels like it. Many people do that. Listen to talk radio. Listen to any politician. If you don't want to hear what he has to say, don't listen. But don't act like a self-righteous ninny who expects Rossi to be a Boy Scout. Don't act like a nun who has walked into a classroom to find a students having sex -- oh so horrified to learn that people do that!!! Rossi is a hard-boiled businessman from Italy, where the Mafia has its fingers in every pie. He has been in trouble countless times. What kind of person would you expect him to be? Lots of businessmen are like him. Lots of inventors too, notably Edison. They are not saints. Rossi has made tremendous contributions to humanity, so stop kvetching about his foibles. They make no difference. - Jed
