About the fact that Cravens and others do not publish papers or make any other effort to reach an audience. Look at it this way -- Imagine that I go to great effort and expense to rent a large auditorium. I pass out flyers, pay Google to advertise, and I gather an audience of 10,000 experts in the seats. (Okay, 5,000 experts, and several thousand odd people.) The audience awaits, hushed and polite, receptive, even anxious to hear about cold fusion. I ask Dennis Cravens to come to podium and present his results. He says, No, I don't want to work with others, I am not interested in money, the Navy screwed me last time, and blah, blah and blah de blah blah. Not just Dennis but many others give me this kind of bull. Not just at LENR-CANR.org but in the ICCF conference, which I doing my best to help organize. Rob Duncan, Biberian, me, and many others are doing the best we can to give the researchers an opportunity to present their results and get serious attention, and possibly funding. Instead of thanking us, we get a barrage of abuse, jealousy, excuses and nonsense from some researchers. As I said, Ed has a right to be cranky. So do I, by golly! I will grant that Cravens did not ask me to do this. He has never asked me to do anything. So I do not blame him for ignoring my efforts and the ICCF. Who know; maybe he has inside connections more potent than the audience at LENR-CANR. But if he does not, then I do blame him for is kvetching and moaning that people ignore him and he does not have the resources he needs, when he will not even write a paper or make the effort to meet the audience half-way. - Jed
