Ludwik,  I disagree.  TPT is not a research physics journal, and letters
to the editor of TPT will not advance your agenda of re-opening
the issue of cold fusion.  Such letters will actually alienate TPT
readers like myself to your cause.  Replicable research published in
peer-reviewed physics research journals is required.  Claims of
conspiracy without results further discredits your cause.
