As you've said yourself, most CF research isn't anywhere close to producing reactors in quantity for retail sales. And there are many cold fusion advocates who are skeptical of Rossi, including several on this list, Brian Ahern, and of course Krivit. But in any case, nothing in any of what you replied to, could in any way, be construed as accusing cold fusion researchers, one and all, of being criminals, or even suspecting them of criminal activity. In fact, your statement could be regarded, by your standards, as libelous.
