That is not even a little bit true. I have been dealing with Rossi, in person, for years. And I just wrote here: "[Skeptics] will say -- with some justification -- that he is the only source of this news, and that he is unreliable. I say "some justification" because he has said inexplicable things about his business plans in the past, and he has abruptly changed his plans, for example with Defkalion. . . . I believe this report. But I can understand why other people may have doubts about it." It is a matter of emphasis. I say "doubts" -- you say "massive fraud." > Unfortunately, in the absence of inescapable proof either way, there is an > ambiguity. > Inescapable proof? There is practically no such thing. People don't believe the moon landings. There is a lot of evidence in favor of Ross and *none whatever* against him. You statement that "Rossi has a history of less than forthright dealings" is not evidence. It is your gut feeling, supported by no personal knowledge and no published evidence as far as I know. It isn't true. I know several people who have dealt with him. They find him aggravating but forthright. So do I. Altogether too forthright at times. In-your-face forthright. He is mercurial. He changes his mind and his business strategy often. - Jed
