- Steve Jones provides a sober counterpoint to Jed Rothwell's emotive
- postings. Yes, I take Dr. Jones more seriously than the
- sometimes overwrought Rothwell, but Jed does make some good points.
- Sometimes I wish Jed didn't end every sentence with an implied 15
- exclamation points, but he is perhaps the best wordsmith in this
- group and I enjoy his posts. Keep it up, both of you.

- The one problem I have with Dr. Jones' post is a quote from Huizenga:
-
- >"ROOM TEMPERATURE NUCLEAR FUSION WITHOUT COMMENSURATE AMOUNTS OF FUSION
- >PRODUCTS IS A DELUSION AND QUALIFIES AS PATHOLOGICAL SCIENCE."
-
- I think this is an extreme statement. In fact, if Jed was a non-believer
- he would have said this first. ;-) Of course, if one defines fusion in
- terms of current theory and calls anything else a non-fusion nuclear process,
- then the statement stands. If there is anything to CF, it may
- very well be some special case undreamed of by our Horatio imaginations.
- I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be some "intermediate" nuclear
- process residing somewhere between chemistry and fusion.
