Rossi threads will remain open for the time being.

Quote from Shane D.

After much internal consideration, and feedback from the members, we have settled on a compromise that will hopefully make everyone happy. It appears Rossi may be setting up for another demonstration of some sort. If so, we will keep the Rossi threads open until that event happens, and then decide on a course of action. This will be his last opportunity as far as LENR-Forum is concerned, to convincingly show he has what he claims.

Does this, practically, mean that is confirmed that after 12/31/2019 all Rossi related posts will be banned?

Captured imaginations is exactly the force at play. There are 3 groups of people here: strong skeptics who are confident that Rossi is nothing but a con man and has never done anything of value; a handful of die-hard Rossi believers who somehow believe everything the man says; and people who realize that Rossi is a liar and a con man but despite that still think that somewhere along the line he built a functioning LENR device. Remarkably, I suspect that the majority of people here fall into category 3 and if that continues to be the case, it is appropriate to have Rossi conversations here.

. . . and people who realize that Rossi is a liar and a con man but despite that still think that somewhere along the line he built a functioning LENR device.

There are gradations in this spectrum, such as people who think he might possibly have built a device, but probably not.

Which category do you put yourself in?

Are you really unsure about that? Category 1 since November, 2011.

Well there was always that chance

that you might have been in 3.

Maybe in some future time there

will be a lot of Lenr forum members

In that category 3.

Hopefully in a couple of months.

Not talking about Rossi in LENR is like talking baseball without mentioning its most valuable player (aka Mike Trout).

The essential consequence of the SSM version is that he will be able to do a demo pulling the plug and eliminating the input power altogether. That makes verification simple: Any amount of heat produced over a sufficiently long time proves energy production beyond chemical reactions. Done.

And as far as I understand, he’s ready to do such a test as soon as he achieves a stable sum version. No sigma stuff. Will try to assist him in this.”

Looks like Mats is ready to be bamboozled... again... if Rossi even gets as far as actually doing another bamboozlement.

if there is any scientific basis for LENR that is 100% wrong.
