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.
