Actually, I welcome any mention of cold fusion, in any context, in any newspaper or journal up to and including The National Inquirer. You never know what might result in greater public interest.

That does not seem like a good idea. If someone can profit from the ideas posted here, that would be a good thing. If the gadget succeeds commercially, sooner or later someone will uncover the origin of the idea, and the patent will be rescinded. That might even make the news, which would be excellent publicity for this forum. So let us wait until whoever it is makes his first hundred million TWD (Taiwan New Dollars).
Maybe we can extort some money out of the fellow, in exchange for selectively erasing the archives.
