Frank is a vey bad forum admin.
I think the foundational issue is that :
1) Frank owns ECW
2) He has stated that it is only a place for believers / positive Rossi posts
3) That is not open for devbate.
It is his site, he can do with it as he pleases. I may think it unfortunate, as it encourages some to put much faith in Rossi when they do not look deeply into the real facts.
I kind of view ECW as similar to those miracle weight loss pill sites (or other less discreet products!). They are not based on fact and can really mislead people. If the product these sites sell really did work.... their would be no fat people today! Or all men would have very large certain appendages!
Yet obesity is rampant and we know the other products do not work either!
Same with the eCat.... if it really worked, the planet would be well on it's way cleaning up the air.... converting coal fired plants.... and many other honorable implementations. What do we have?
Lawsuits versus working products.
Blurry blue photos of the "new product" instead of glowing read reactors making steam.
A small "strip mall" warehouse in Doral instead of large robotic factories pumping out reactors.
Papers being written by students based on non-confirmed and senseless data instead of peer reviewed and published journals.
and thus much of the LENR story being cast into "conspiracy theory dreams", pseudo science and quasi-cultism!
No, ECW is not helping LENR / CF. If anything it is hurting it.
