Re: [Vo]:Interview with Rob Duncan about his move to Texas Tech
Fair enough, I retract it. However - he's a fairly famous person (60 minutes) in a position of very significant power in academia. I think he should be opened to public criticism for his actions.

What actions?? Rob takes another job. Big deal. Everything else is pure speculation and paranoia. Ed On Nov 21, 2013, at 3:39 PM, Blaze Spinnaker wrote: Fair enough, I retract it.

Edmund Storms stor...@ix.netcom.com wrote: What actions?? Rob takes another job. Big deal. Everything else is pure speculation and paranoia. Yes. Furthermore, Rob told Marianne and me that this is a promotion and it is good for cold fusion. Okay, perhaps he was lying, but that is the only non-speculation we have to go on. I asked him because I was concerned that he was being forced out because of cold fusion. That possibility certainly crossed my mind. It was not unreasonable to worry that might be the case. But as far as I know, that is not the case. - Jed
Re: [Vo]:Interview with Rob Duncan about his move to Texas Tech
To be realistic, you were not criticizing his actions or his character. You were imputing disrepute to MU.

Well, it'd be good to hear a public comment by the philanthropist who donated all that money to SKINR on this move.

Re: [Vo]:Interview with Rob Duncan about his move to Texas Tech
What I noticed in his interview and from facts : - the position of his wife is important about his decision - he is recognized for having developed the research activity at MU - TTU seems interested to develop research - TTU said nothing about LENR of course for us LENR is the key discovery of Duncan, but for that man, it is simply one domain of research... I feel the desire to develop something... maybe also being bored when it works. quite common among innovators. Maybe with a different history he could be a serial entrepreneur... 2013/11/21 Jed Rothwell jedrothw...@gmail.com Blaze Spinnaker blazespinna...@gmail.com wrote: I call bull.

Note that Duncan says he is filing a cold fusion patent with SKINR, as he goes out the door. He told me his move will probably be good for cold fusion. - Jed
