Jed: The Google stats were interesting. I found it puzzling that the "interest" graph doesn't reflect the "downloads" graph much. I wonder, did your terms for that search specifically reject searches for the program called coldfusion (cold fusion?)? I imagine that the program had hugely more hits than cold fusion/LENR, and also believe that it has dropped off in popularity quite a lot. This slide down would hide the LENR data under its avalanche.
