Aggravated is a good term. They had me down in the Motorola deal for a 6 figure salary plus a car. But then if Jim could not reproduce the beads from scratch then it is likely best that the deal was not done. D2 Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 23:53:14 -0400 Subject: Re: [Vo]:News about Defkalion Europe...

I just remember hearing $20 million and feeling SO AGGRAVATED. Yet another lost opportunity for cold fusion. Oy veh. I have been feeling the same way about Rossi, on and off, for a while. Yet another golden opportunity, gradually fading away . . . I feel differently now with the Levi report and the report of production in the U.S. Still nervous, but more optimistic. A lot could still go wrong. I wish I could make those beads. I wish you could too! I don't think that Jim could recreate them either. He told me he could "anytime," but he never did. As far as I know he never did. Maybe he never tried? He lost heart after Reding died. That was so awful. It is human drama that causes these lost opportunities. Patterson, IMRA Europe, the NHE project . . . It is always people and their emotions and politics that cause disaster. Someone dies young; someone is broken hearted; or someone is so pig headed and self destructive he would rather die with nothing than give up a few percent of a potential multi-trillion dollar fortune. - Jed
