You can trust me on this matter, mods internal dialogues on this topic are available to me. I know exactly what happened.

Actually moderators do not have access to members metadata as siffer suggests. Admin will sometimes inform mods (if a reasonable request is made by a mod) if a member appears to be using more than 1 log-in ID. But the data itself is not known to us.

Well said Ruby. We do seem to be somewhat stuck as far as theories go. Problem is that we have not one or two, but one or two dozen.
BTW, Welcome to LENR Forum.

You seem perfectly happy to accept Kirk's theories of how the anomalous heat effect in Pd/D can be explained by something other than LENR, despite the fact that AFAIK he has never performed any experiments to test his hypothesis directly, but reluctant to accept the truth of Jed's often cited 'hundreds of experiments' that demonstrate LENR.
Some inconsistency there, shirley?

I don't know whether any poster here is Levi - there are candidates, but possibly none are
Definitely none are.

'Clean Planet' is a part government/part private company formed to pursue research into LENR. As of around 18 months ago LENR research was put under the control of the Japanese Nuclear Energy Authority since then the flow of published information is much reduced.
-
How could you possibly fall for the Gary Wright fantasy about Levi and Randombito being the same person? I assure you that he would sooner excise his navel with a broken ball pen than post in here or indeed any other LENR forum.

Why don't you, Alan, and Ascoli get a room.
He doesn't have a womb. We'd have to do it in the woad

All news requires interpretation THH, especially when it is in Swedish. But despite your obvious hopes, I am pretty sure they will be dashed before too long.
-
Despite your claims in very large red print, that there is good news to come from not one but two sources in Sweden is not a rumour, but a fact. What do you thinf FF has been doing all those weeks in Upsalla and elsewhere, rewiring Hanno Essen's Sauna?

I think we both did this Alain- I posted the same thing in 'News'
-
Ruby Carat has just announced a new 28 minute LENR video about the 'Hydrotron' work of Ed Storms.

I and the other mods appreciate your concern Mary, and any further transgressions in this space will be dealt with a ban as soon as detected. But we obviously cannot act until that happens.

Abd did suggest/imply PG was senile in this place, but I don't think Roger ever personated him, on PG's blog or in here.

Mizuno is preparing a new paper for the JCMNS. I suggest you wait a few weeks and read that to get a handle on his work. Contact me by e-mail and I will let you know when it comes out. (I will forget to do that if it is not in my e-mail queue.)
I often think you are rather irascible Jed, but the quote above demonstrates that (just now and then) you have the patience of a saint.

@E Man
The point that Eric (and I) have tried to make is about the nature of post contents. The whole idea of LENR forum was that it was a place to exchange ideas about - and to discuss - LENR research and LENR experiments. Posts that merely attack other members for their views are not encouraged. I have quite often emailed members privately and suggested ways in which the factual content of their posts might be improved and the ad hom content reduced. When I have done this it has not always worked - some try to comply (for a while) - some just vanish.
Eric is a Rossi skeptic, I am a Rossi optimist - a position I see no need to change. Collectively Eric and I have always tried to be even-handed, but that is a difficult trick. Balance is on the eye of the beholder, and no-one like being moderated. But on the whole we don't too too bad IMHO. Eric will engage in debates about this more readily than me, for sure, but that doesn't mean he has a mission (or an agenda) in mind other than attempting to maintain order. It just means he rises to the bait more readily than I do.
In terms of balance, Abd is banished to a happier place, Dewey has been suspended once (and could be again) and a few others I will not name no longer post. Any civil Rossi supporter is always welcome to post, but as there is little 'fresh meat' currently available then the value of their posts is inherently more limited.
Bottom line is, Eric and I do what we can to nurture this forum as a civilisaed space to discuss both positive and negative views of LENR. Those that don't like it can choose to leave if they wish, those that attack will be sanctioned. Those that post good thoughts on good science will be encouraged, those that do not will not be loved, even if tolerated.
My own input here is somewhat diminished lately, as I have a non-LENR but nevertheless disruptive energy invention to guide though the hoops of patenting and finance- as well as building reactors and so on. when it becomes possible I will be able to tell you more. I hope! Wish me luck, required at the moment as the bankers are offering me only a deckchair on the fantail of the ship in return for the IP. Fat chance, I might be on holiday, but I am not a deckchair fan.

Sifferkoll. If you keep attacking Eric I would feel forced to do something about it. If you don't like what he says, my advice is to block him. Then what he posts won't inflame your passions so much.
IMHO this forum would be a poorer place without some of the colour and comments you are (on a good day) capable of adding, but if you keep making personal attacks we will lose you again. -
-
Don't worry. I am going nowhere (except on holiday). Across the whole forum team, Alain, barty, Rends and myself, we are fairly well balanced. A forum without dissenting voices would not be a forum, it would be a one party state. Dewey and Sifferkoll would both like something approaching that to be the case - but it's never going to happen. That would be the end of the forum and if it looked like happening again, people would find themselves losing posting priviledges.
BTW, I would advise members to stop attacking my colleague Eric Walker. While I don't always agree with what he says, I defend his right to say it. As I defend the right of free speech in here as much as 'politesse publique' allows.

And one day even Americans might begin to comprehend British humuor. We even spell it differently.
-
I recall reading elsewhere, long before that list was published, that perpetually keeping patent applications in a provisional state until needed was a likely Rossi strategy;....
It is a well-known strategy, not just used by Rossi.

All investors are fully informed - truth is our currency.
That's nice. I hope you tell them more than you tell us.

What is your point, just more propaganda to the uninformed Brethren, that the dear moderator seems to foster.
What is your point apart from being insulting to both me and other members?

What about all the experiments done in Italy up till 2005 at least, many showed considerable excess heat, and none involved Rossi or electrolysis?
"Research on nickel-hydrogen systems began from an experimental observation made by Francesco Piantelli towards the end of 1989 on a strange thermal effect, which occurred at low temperature in a sample of hydrogenated nickel. Piantelli talked with Focardi and Habel during the Conference of SIF held in Trento in October 1990 and they agreed to verify experimentally the phenomenon observed, taking into account the results obtained in electrolysis from Fleischmann, Hawkins and Pons (j. Electroanal. Chem, 261, 301 (1989)).
The experiments, which had been preceded by several experimental observations made in Siena from only Piantelli began to Bologna, Cagliari and Siena, of course conducted in the utmost secrecy, given the importance of the phenomenon that could have been used for energy transformations. Later, experiments were also performed in Colleferro and Pavia However the venue is the highest experimental activity occurred from the very beginning and also below has always been Siena.
The main difficulties encountered from the beginning have been the chronic lack of funding, limitation or always completely insufficient, having been able to rely only on 40% funds distributed locally in universities. It was possible that despite conducting a research activity by virtue of temporary loans, but in some cases become permanent from colleagues and friends, also to other universities, INFN and ENEA. Even today we borrowed two diffusion pumps, electronics from CISE, neutron monitor from a group of medical physics, a cloud Chamber of the city of Bologna. This is unfortunately of instruments that were built many years ago, much more accurate maintenance of their modern versions."LNER overview of italian experiments.pdf

They are always with us.

Really? Most of the comment here, and everything about LENR theory, are speculative. You have just classified the whole site as only of interest to trolls.
All theories are to a greater or lesser degree speculative, LENR theory is in good company there, But speculating about the state of mind some years ago of a person of note now deceased is a task for either a historian or a psychic - especially when the speculation has nothing to do with actual science.
-
Perhaps, since his/her posts cause me to make such comments I should just filter him/her.
Excellent advice. Please take it.

If you're in on the gig, you will not renig.
That assumes there is a gig of course. I would be very careful about implying anything that might under certain circumstances be described as a conspiracy.

Trolling in this instance might be in the eye of the beholder. However, I do agree that Kev should aim to be more courteous than those who offend him, which sometimes is not difficult.
