- Can anyone tell me the point of puffing off an oddball theory like
- this? Is this sinister? Do they want to attract shareholders?

- Immediate reaction: Balls. Though you're welcome to try to convince
- me otherwise. I await the paper...

- Yeah, yeah. Unless these clusters have extra-nuclear properties I
- really don't see what semiconductor tech has to do with NCM.

- Why there? Hey, Nuclear Physics A, no less, or Phys Rev C for
- something as far reaching and as completely successful as this!

- How about in the nuclear physics field?

- I reckon if this one's a lemon, they'll be calling it "klutztron".
