Have you just noticed that he is hard to deal with? Is this a
revelation to you? I could have told you this any time in the last
18 months. I believe I have mentioned it from time to time.
His behavior toward NASA was what prompted me to remark that I
would not buy a toenail clipper from this man.
This incident also confirms my belief that he is the world's worst
con-man. He could not con candy from a baby. He could not sell
water to someone dying of thirst. In a perverse way, this gives me
confidence in his claims. As long as a positive test is based
purely on physics rather than his personal credibility, or it is
performed by others (as some tests have been) I consider it totally
believable because he is no good at setting up fake demonstration
or at fooling anyone.

Don't mind me. I'm just depressed.
I had high hopes for Rossi. Rossi's perpetual circus drives me to
periods of disgust and then depression. I especially feel foolish
having spent so much time discussing his antics at the expense of my
own projects. This should be a lesson to me to stop the chit-chat
and get back to work - at least for a while. 8^)
Nonetheless, I still hope for Rossi to be spectacularly successful,
despite how increasingly unlikely that appears.
I fully expect Brian Ahern and other serious folks to soon relegate
Rossi to the backwaters of history, if Rossi doesn't get his act in
order very shortly.
Best regards,
