Ivy Matt,
Speaking of which, wouldn't it be a lot cheaper to just stamp "patent pending" on every E-Cat leased? As I mentioned earlier, all you need to do that is a patent application that hasn't yet been rejected.
No that wouldn't work. As Rossi stated, if he sold them without patent protection (or even with protection in my view) for a few thousand dollars anyone could obtain an E-Cat and reverse engineer it.
Ross is no fool and has been around long enough to understand the game. It is naive PhDs that don't. (I'm not referring to you.)

Why this forum tolerates people whose only purpose here is to talk about COLD FUSION B*LL*CKS is just one of those things I guess I will never learn.

You know this forum (i.e. MSimon) tolerates a lot, including some people who only talk about politics these days. I see no reason to single out someone whose primary interest is in a phenomenon purported to be a type of fusion reaction. I will say, though, that in my opinion any cold fusion enthusiast who wishes to engage in discussion on a forum devoted to high-energy nuclear reactions (heh) ought to familiarize himself with the subject lest he be put at a disadvantage. I'm not singling out parallel here, who hasn't really said much about the subject, but elsewhere I've seen some cold fusion enthusiasts say things about "hot fusion" that led me to believe they haven't the foggiest clue.
I joined this forum because I'm interested in better ways of obtaining energy and I thought the Polywell might be one such device. In the absence of news about the Polywell it is natural that the blog would wander off into other areas. Obviously, the E-Cat is another possibility. Unfortunately, I don't think hot fusion like the Tokamak is. It seems unlikely to generate power economically and we spend too much money on it.
You might want to listen to NASA Chief Scientist Bushnell here for a whole list of better ways.

It seems to me that people like chrismb overate the importance of their speculations on an obscure blog like this. I am retired and can please myself how I spend my time. I have made 192 posts. chrismb has made 2620. Does he have a job? Giorgio seems to have an inferiority complex that makes him run others down. He never admits making a mistake. Apart from the untrue story of Rossi saying that "Piantelli patent represent his device in all aspects," as far as I know Rossi never said he wouldn't apply for a patent for the catalyst either. Life is too short to waste it on Giorgio's song and dance routines - "he said it on radio." "His patent attorney stated it" - that was the opposition. Etc.
