Stop the excuses. > You mean what Kim said about Defkalion? I would NEVER say anything like what Kim said! That was unprofessional. A travesty, like Gilardone's statements. There was no quantitative information in Kim's message. Here is the only thing I would say about you or Defkalion: "I have no hard information. No calibration, no description of the calorimetry, no data. I have no idea how big the cell is, what temperatures or how much power it produces. I cannot judge anything about this. I have no idea whether the claims are true or not." > I have never "complained" about lack of funding. > This is like saying you complain of thirst, not that you have no water. You complain you cannot do the work. You complain you are forced to retire. You cannot do the work because you do not have money. If you had money, you could do the work. > That is only a accusation you continually make - as if everyone is after > money. > Don't be silly. You have made it clear you are not after money. Naturally, I believe you. However whether you want it or not, money is essential to solving your problems and allowing you to make progress, so you should get money even if you hate the stuff. > Yes there are times I have not been funded, but those times were good - > nothing to complain about. Only money grabbers would think that statement > of lack of funding is a complaint. > Only someone who totally misunderstands me would say I am a money grubber, or that I want you to get money for its own sake. I do not give a damn whether you live on welfare and you have $10 in the bank. It is no concern of mine. My only agenda is to see that cold fusion succeeds. I am in favor any step to promote that, including funding people who hate money. It is a means to an end. - Jed
