Exactly. That is just what I had in mind. > I wish Rossi would just disappear, he is currently little more than a LENR > saboteur. > Despite his quirks, he has done a great service to the field, but focusing people's attention on Ni-H. He is a pain in the butt. As I said before, he is also like the guy in the beer ad: The most interesting man in the world. I think he is a genius. I think he is his own worst enemy. He reminds me of Edison. His stubborn refusal to compromise or let up on his own heroic self image reminds me a little of Shakespeare's Coriolanus -- another distressing Italian guy. Last night I saw the superb film version of that play by Ralph Fiennes. It blew me away! I sat and watched the whole thing straight through, twice in a row. What a brilliant idea it is to set that play so firmly in the 21st Century, with cell phones, Skype and modern urban warfare. Totally convincing. It reminds me a little of Ian McKellen's "Richard III" set in the Fascist 1930s. Another fantastic rendition. Shakespeare never gets old, and never gets irrelevant. His plays might as well be "torn from the headlines" today, like the "Law and Order" tagline. - Jed
