Please protest
I just uploaded a statement to the front page at LENR-CANR and to the news section: The Washington Post attacks cold fusion, and ignores protests by researchers. I assume several researchers protested. If you have not already done so, please send a short message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] They will ignore it but anyway, I would like to be sure that what I just wrote at LENR-CANR.org is correct, at least ex post facto. I think a short message along these lines would be fine: Regarding: Barely a Drop of Fraud by Bettyann Holtzmann Kevles, January 8, 2006, p. B03. The statements about cold fusion in this article are inaccurate and unfair. Cold fusion was never debunked. On the contrary, it was widely replicated after 1989, and many peer-reviewed journal papers describing these replications have been published. Say it your own way, of course. Perhaps we could send one message signed by many people? Probably not. It is worth the effort organizing a petition because they will ignore us for sure. - Jed

Goodness, there are a lot of addresses. Not sure.

Re: Please protest
I think it's worth a protest for the simple reason that it will make the newspaper aware that there actually is interest in cold fusion out there. It might even lead to a follow-up article. Actually, the mainstream press has been rather quiet about cold fusion recently. 2004 was a banner year for cold fusion coverage in the mainstream media with coverage from the New York Times to Nature, in the wake of the DOE report. 2005 was kind of quiet. 2006? - Original Message - From: Jed Rothwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 9:40 PM Subject: Re: Please protest Horace Heffner wrote: What email address to use?
