Yes, I am aware that I do not belong here. I joined because my critique of Levi's interpretation in the Yahoo group was cross-posted here, and was being (ineptly) challenged. I felt I had a good reason to come and defend it. I have joined only conservations relevant to the Rossi device, although inevitably, they tend to stray to the field in general. I will stay to defend things I've written, but will look for an opportunity to bow out.
The upshot of this is that, as far as I'm concerned, Joshua is welcome here if he stays within sober consideration of the issues and doesn't use participation here as an excuse to ridicule people holding views he considers fringe. He's made some very cogent commentary, but he may also have strayed over the edge, I'm not judging that. He may also, if he wishes, invite my participation in "the Yahoo group," of which I'm unaware.
I specifically invite him to help develop educational materials on cold fusion on Wikiversity. It's important that skeptical points of view be represented there, and especially the evidence favoring skeptical positions be covered. http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Cold_fusion
I make mistakes. Someone who disagrees with me is more likely to find them, as Joshua may already have done.
