It came out positive instead of negative, wonderful! I think people > are reading a lot into the IH statement that is unfounded. > I also did not read IH's statement as a repudiation of Rossi. I saw it as an attempt to set expectations and manage communication on IH's end, essentially saying, when it comes to their own involvement, people should go to them or their chosen delegate for any information. Since IH are not in the business of evaluating technology, they are delegating that responsibility to a third party (the ERV), who is a party competent to weigh in on the matter. Implicitly they are distancing themselves from the kind of controversy that arises from Rossi's loose communication style, but they are not necessarily repudiating anything he's saying. Eric
