Jarold, 

I do not understand from where this myth is spreading. Defkalion has not 
violated anything they have said. 

There has already been made two out of seven independent validation tests 
following precisely the test protocol. And they were successful as far as we 
know. Too bad that Dick Smith did not want to do the eighth test that was 
offered to him.

It is certainly not Defkalion's duty to publish the results of third party 
independent validation tests!

I think that Defkalion has now reached the point where chattering in Internet 
chat room is no longer relevant, because they can let the raw data to speak for 
them. Data is what we want and words are irrelevant.

While i agree on the fact that Defkalion somehow did what what they said they 
would do (allowing independent testing), meanwhile where are the tests 
protocols (maybe i missed something) ? 

I believe they're sending mixed signals by closing the forum. I can totally 
understand the fact they want to work in peace, but public relations is an 
important part of any business these days (i know they want to license the 
technology, so maybe they think they don't need it anymore).
Shutting down the line won't make the message go away, it will reroute. More 
moderation would probably do the job while keeping the line open.

Now, I am waiting as everyone else to see some testing data released, of course 
Defkalion can't publish them because everyone would claim they are forged, and 
the tester has no obligation to do so, so this can take a while.

Looking at the dark side (what i'm going to write is pure speculation on my 
part and should be seen as science-fiction ) :
Since Siros and falkonide broke up, falkonide always seemed to try to keep the 
line open with Siros , while Siros clearly stated he was over with it. Anyway 
since the testing phase started, i noticed more messages popping around 
suggesting that falkonide stole from Siros , whether this is true or not is 
irrelevant. What is important is that on the internet, stories spreads at the 
speed of light. Maybe someone has an insight on what is going on at falkonide , 
i don't, but if i was them, i would know that these rumors are bad for business 
and even worst if you're are trying to attract potential licensees and 
investors (Who wants to be sued ?). The best way to avoid discussing those 
subjects was to close the forum. This question would have popped up like a 
grasshopper without bringing more information. Not much of a choice or a 
distraction, just business as usual.


I should ask seti if they have some infos, they say they've got plenty of data 
to analyse at http://www.setilive.org/ ;)
