Quote from Mary Yugo

Eric. most skeptics "believe" nothing. Belief is irrelevant to science. It's about religion. What matters is evidence. And every shred of available evidence points to Rossi's crap as an obvious, blatant, very transparent SCAM.

Apparently no one may avoid belief at some level; just take for example your statement "every shred of available evidence points to Rossi's crap as an obvious" is an example of yours; while I see plenty experimental evidences that isotopic shift is possible for quite low energies and I see no reasons why some Edison/Kulibin/Rossi could not stumble upon some manifestation of this...

Quote from Thomas Clarke

But experiment always trumps theory. Unfortunately the experimental evidence is for no LENR.

Well, there are overwhelming experimental evidences of isotopic shifts for energies a way below MeV. You probably one of proponent of mind over matter ideas; if you are persistent enough calling rabbit a pigeon eventually it will become a pigeon ;o)

>So, being a LENR skeptic I feel that my feet rest on solid ground with no earthquakes in sight.

Sure it does rest on solid ground, so what? What brake-through your skepticism may offer? Nobody rejects the existence of Coulomb barrier everyone working to get energy from fusion are looking to overcome this barrier it is correct for hot fusion as well as for cold one; just the mainstream hot fusion uses a brute force mechanism; LENR tries to get around with different kinds of loopholes in quantum mechanics. Btw, your line of arguments look childish, like a person with "special abilities" works painfully hard to appear logical...
