To be exact, Swartz sent me a CD-ROM which I was totally unable to read. I could not even read the directory.
I have had bad experiences with CD-ROMs. There seem to be three or four different, mutually incompatible formats: ISO, SIF, UDF and so on. Swartz sent to the CD-ROM because his files are very big and could not be e-mailed. When people wish to send large files now, I recommend they combine the files together with pkzip and then upload the zip file to a web page somewhere. Most web pages have 10 MB or more free space. You give me the URL and I download the file. I have done this several times successfully.
I recommended this method to Swartz, and I also suggested he try another CD-ROM, but he did not respond.

Ed and Jed should not be "argumentative" (using Jed's previous
unwarranted, improper and outrageous admonishment to a good Vortex scientist)
but since they have been, here goes.
Bzzzzzt. Untrue. False. Delusional.
Mr. Jed Rothwell is disingenuous with a very selective memory-- again.
First, we sent Jed the files he's referred to in several formats.
We have proof he received them AND he received the files by email too.
No mention of that in his missive.
Jed also got them and said that he had them as pdf files
but wanted to key word hunts all through them.
No mention of that in his missive,either.
Briefly, Jed got them multiple times.
In addition to CD-ROM, Jed got them by email
and by snail mail.
In addition to the CD-ROM Jed received four formats.
In addition to the CD-ROM the papers handed to him
at Gene's funeral.
If memory serves, he or Ed also received another copy
by regular mail.
So there has been a total transmission of about five formats
including one or two copies of each paper in hard-copy format,
and email and by CD ROM.
No mention of THAT in Jed's missive, is there.
The problem is that Jed said he was waiting for Ed's approval.
No mention of THAT in his missive.
Now, most who are familiar with Jed's antics, know
that since I previously criticized his lack of thermal ohmic
calibrations (and other issues including failure to consider
the Bernard stability), I expected some delay, but
more than a year of delay has come and gone, and more
than a year has passed since Jed's second receipt of the
email papers he did not mention in his missive,
that he had received, either.
Anyway, readdressing Jed's fantasies and zooming back to reality.
Next, Rothwell later informed me, at about the time he began verbally attacking my
work including here on vortex, that my papers were not acceptable
based upon his discussion with Ed Storms.
Jed told me that by telephone. Later, in email Jed confirmed that
control of the site is by Ed Storms.
Here is one of his emails purporting Jed's "plausible deniability"
based on Ed Storms:

"Furthermore, I have no editorial role in LENR-CANR. Ed and others make all
decisions about what papers will be uploaded. All I do is OCR the papers
and generate the indexes.

====================================
Q.E.D.
So, the record shows that Jed is disingenuous again.
First, Jed got the papers on pdf and other formats.
Jed waited for Ed Storms' approval.
Jed and Storms also got the papers by mail on hard-copy print.
Jed waited for Ed Storms' approval.
Jed got the papers in hand at Gene's funeral
Jed waited for Ed Storms' approval.
Jed got the papers by CD-ROM, and I doubt he had trouble
since we discussed the papers AND since no one else had trouble.
Jed waited for Ed Storms' approval.
Thus, the likelihood of censorship at the LENR site run by
Rothwell and Storms, given the absence of three papers (zero of three)
and the time involved (more than a year), and the multiplicity of copies received,
is probably characterized by a p value by actuarial z test
of at least p < .01
Q.E.D.
Jed has never liked papers involving calibrations
because as Jed has said, "We don't need no ("stinking") calibrations".
(Perhaps that was sarcasm, perhaps not.)
In any case, Jed's readers ought to have access to his requisite warning label.
Hope that helps.
