Yes, I don't know why they had the forum in the first place. What are they expecting if they aren't willing to do an independent test? I didn't think the posts on the forum were that bad for any party. I didn't think the skepticism was unreasonable, but I did think running a forum was pretty much a waste of time. If all they are going to do is secret tests and delay another few months all the time, there is no use in following them any more. They may have a real device or they may not. They have no evidence at all at what they claim. I can say right now that I have a working cold fusion device in my garage, and it has been secretly tested by government officials, and I'd have the same credibility as they do.
