He has been aware of them all along. I have copied many of my messages from Vortex to him. Especially the ones where I criticized him. I would never say harsh things about a researcher behind his back, without giving him an opportunity to respond. I usually send the message to the researcher first, in case I have misunderstood or said something unfair. I would never say something critical in a public forum about a researcher that I would hesitate to say to that researcher directly, in person. That's craven. I have not sent him other people's criticism, such as Jones Beene's. That's between Beene and Rossi. > , as recently (since the last few days) he started showing more signs of > unwillingness to discuss about those details on his blog than usual. > I do not think he is more unwilling than usual. > Maybe he's inadvertently (and dangerously to his patent) disclosed too many > hints so far. > For his sake, I hope not. And yet for sake of the world, and to satisfy my own curiosity, I rather hope that he has! I expect that he himself feels conflicted by the desires to make money on one hand, and the desire to show off his work on the other. Any inventor or scientist does. - Jed
