Just to amplify that, and give credit where it is due, let me point out that two of these authors have been Nobel laureates, and several are among the greatest electrochemists who ever lived, including Fleischmann, Bockris and Oriani. Many others have had great difficulty communicating in English, especially researchers from Russia, China and Japan. As one who struggles daily with a second language, I am impressed and gratified by their efforts to prepare papers conscientiously and to correct mistakes in English grammar. Many of these researchers are elderly scientists who are not familiar with computers, but they have gone to great lengths to prepare the papers according to specifications and provide them to the ICCF conference, and to me, in the requested formats, with the proper page length.
By and large, with just a few small exceptions, the researchers who have contributed papers to LENR-CANR have been the soul of cooperation, even though they are all busy people and many of them are famous busy people. If they can make the effort to prepare material in the proper format, so can Mitchell Swartz. He should stop making excuses, blaming other people, and spreading ridiculous allegations. If he does not wish to post his paper on LENR-CANR.org, he should post it on his own web site and give the readers of this forum the URL. Why is this so difficult? Why should it be the least bit controversial?
