Jed, I finally found the time to complete the answer to your previous comment.
I did not define it as anything. That's Marianne's title.
The word "interview" never appear in her document, whose title is "Specifics of Andrea Rossi’s “Energy Catalyzer” Test, University of Bologna, 1/14/2001", and is uploaded it in your lenr-canr library with the name "MacyMspecificso" (http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/MacyMspecificso.pdf).
QuoteWell I know a lot about the technical aspects of experiments, but nothing about Rossi's business arrangements or his personal life. If you want to know about those things, read Mats Lewan's book. […] about some guy in England who supposedly invested $50 million in I.H. I don't recall the name. […] The only thing I know about their business is what was revealed in the lawsuit, and I never bothered to read the lawsuit documents carefully. Legal documents give me a headache.
I didn't ask you anything about these arguments. And I never talked about them. You are complaining with the wrong person.
QuoteI am interested in the technical aspects of cold fusion. I don't waste time on gossip, rumors, speculation, etc.
Fine, now I agree with you.
In fact, I am talking with you about the technical aspects of the Ecat demo held on January 14, 2011, which is most important, witnessed, documented, celebrated public demonstration in the history of CF/LENR, the field of which you are the first and sole librarian since a quarter of century.
In particular, it would be of the utmost importance to know the source of the wrong data used to highly overestimate the excess heat reported in the Levi's report.
These data appeared for the first time on the web in some of your mails to vortex. In particular, just 3 days after the Bologna demo, you issued the first comprehensive calorimetric report, the Brief Technical Description (BTD), with these mail to vortex ("https://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l%40eskimo.com/msg41484.html"):

Okay! Finally. See:
Rothwell, J., ed./Brief Technical Description of the Leonardo Corporation, University of Bologna, and INFN Scientific Demonstration of the Andrea Rossi ECat (Energy Catalyzer) Boiler/. 2011, LENR-CANR.org.

As you see, I am the editor because this is a compilation of stuff from various people. It took me a while to get it all together and okay'ed.
Some photos here.

You wrote that you were the editor of the BTD, and you gathered the contributions from various people, hence you were the reference point of all of them. Now, you are trying to convince me that you have forgotten the names of the people you were in touch with. Sorry, but I can't believe it. Of course, you are not obliged to reveal their names. But it's clear to me, by your same words, that as coordinator of the BTD editing, you know all the people that contributed to it, and the exact circumstances in which they provided their contributions.
There is also another delicate point regarding the same BTD. The names of the "University of Bologna" and "INFN" appear in its title and in the text. In the above mail to vortex, you wrote that you got the okey's. So, I presume that you also got the official authorizations from these two scientific institutions, who allowed you to cite their names in your BTD in such a prominent position, the title. I also assume that you kept these authorizations very meticulously.
In the same BTD, we can read "Dr. Levi quoted from his post experiment interview". FWIK, this is the first time that the "Levi's interview" is mentioned in the web, and you announced the publication of the BTD one day before your announcement of the so-called Macy's interview. Moreover, it is specified that it was a "post experiment" interview, that is an interview released shortly after the conclusion of the experiment, just around the same time of the phone call you had with a "people in the project" ("http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-[email protected]/msg41364.html").
But you said, in your last comments here on L-F, that your interlocutor was not Levi, nor Focardi, nor Rossi. So, you understand that the identity of this "people in the project" is a very intriguing mystery, which IMO should be solved for the following reason.
The BTD is one of the thousands of documents included in your LENR-CANR library, it refers to the widest documented experiment of the whole CF/LENR history, and you were the coordinator of all the information it contains. Well, if we are not able to understand from where these data come from, how is it possible to give any credit to the contents of the other documents in your library?
