Thanks for your candid response, Bob. Seems Rossi suffers from some of the same impediments as Dr. Patterson. I had the pleasure of knowing another Bob who was in charge of the Bat Wings when I began my career in the Communications Division in 1977 as a Motorola Systems Engineer in Atlanta. I have been an advocate of Cold Fusion since I read the article in the Wall Street Journal in 1989 with a brief hiatus that was corrected by a wonderful man by the name of Chris Tinsley. I was thrilled when an insider informed me of Motorola's interest in CF and devastated when it fell apart. Again, welcome and hang around for what appears to be a great ride! You won't find a more knowledgeable group anywhere else. T
