Good summary. This is very minor issue, but it says:
By today, a notice had been posted on the site, “Dr. Duncan’s speech and presentation slides are not available,” that left no doubt that the removal was deliberate. My notes show that the statement "Dr. Duncan’s speech and presentation slides are not available" was there on May 10. That was when I first became aware of this. I took note of this because, as Steve says, it is proof that the removal was deliberate. On May 10 someone suggested me that maybe the files were accidentally deleted. That's plausible. I have accidentally deleted things at LENR-CANR.org, or left links that do not work. That can happen on any web page. The point is, however, when a file or text is deleted accidentally, you do not find a note saying: "this material is not available." Whatever is happening, it is unpleasant and it gives the field a bad name. People are going to think that Duncan retracted. I hope he does not mind seeing his slides uploaded, and his video on YouTube. If he does mind for some reason, I wish he would tell us. As for the person who deleted the text and files, I don't give a fig if that person is upset that we are uploading this stuff! This is the Internet era. Did they really think they could hide this material, or make it unavailable by erasing it from one site? As I said, if this is suppression it is inept. I must say, it does seem more like suppression with each passing day. This is just a guess, but my hunch is that the professor who phoned Duncan and called him a "charlatan" has put pressure on the university to delete the files. - Jed
