chrismb,
You really are an arrogant twit.

It has been reported many times the Rossi was an engineer. eg
Italian engineer and inventor Andrea Rossi

I wonder if the skeptics here will accuse him of being "had" and wasting money, as they all know cold fusion by any name is pathological science..
Oh, please.... :roll:

I may not be a scientist or an engineer, but I can recognize shoddy reporting when I see it.

Double twit back!

It was NOT reported that he was a TRAINED ENGINEER. This was YOUR STATEMENT.

Show me how you concluded he was A QUALIFIED EUROPEAN ENGINEER, double twit.

tick.... tick......

bullshitters and schmoozers please assemble near the exits....

Parallel,

When somone is called an engineer in an online news site, or indeed anywhere else, it implies no more than that they describe themselves as that. Anyone can call themselves an engineer and be so called.

Training as a professional engineer (say an MEng) is quite different and in Europe a big deal, with 4 years very hard work.

Having said that MEngs vary a lot from institution to institution and also a 3rd class MEng is not to be compared with 1st class.

Rossi no doubt will point to his Chem Eng (was it?) degree from Kensington Uni!

The article fails to give a single fact connecting Chu to LENR. Not one fact. Just a series of implied connections. If one cannot critically read this article then one cannot critically assess Rossi, IMHO.

EDIT - FYI, Chu was not at the conference.

Welcome back Seedload, I thought sure you said you were leaving this thread forever in frustration. Maybe I'm confusing uou with someone else.

I must agree with you here. The link between Chu and LANR support in the article is very strained at best. If it is really based on anything Chu has actually said, done or written, we will see something more diffinitive than this weasil-worded piece shortly I'm sure.

...but "his representative may have been", according to Dr. Mitchell Swartz, via a second-hand source. Sounds promising, but I'm still waiting for some actual details here.

Yeah. I can sell you a certificate. The 'body of work' evidenced by your submissions here should be enough.

Please PM me for the address to send your cheque. Please make payable to "The Rossi Academy for calling yourself an engineer".

I did say that didn't I. I guess I was wrong, probably because this particular post is so illustrative of a particular mindset.

chrismb,
First you accuse me of making something up out of thin air and I posted a reference to show that was not true.

I didn't comment on your other statement in that same post.
I shall point out that your replies indicate that you do not appear to understand what 'ad hominem' means. You told tomclarke he was rude when all he did was state a fact. THAT is ad hominem. Time for you to roll out the apologies, fella.
An ad hominem is when you attack the messenger (whether rude or not) not the message. Your Latin needs brushing up.

Which is exactly what you did, IMHO.
