I think Jed can answer better than I do. But the reason is Krivit doesn't like that guy it is that he thinks Melich a cover agent of the US government to suppress cold fusion. But they are very probably associated, as you can see in the list of Rossi's list of advisors in his blog as well as some news, of him testing the e cat in the Naval institute, where Melich works.
This is from memory. It would take some time for me to find. I think others can help me here find the references. 2011/11/24 Mary Yugo <[email protected]> > > > On Thu, Nov 24, 2011 at 10:13 AM, Daniel Rocha <[email protected]>wrote: > >> That Melich, in the paper, is Rossi's friend, tested the ecats, in 2009, >> I think, and it is an enemy of Krivit.
