Well, if he ever says anything bad about your mother, I advise you not to quote him, or you will soon be hearing from his attorney. I expect to be hearing from him any minute now. However, as I said, I am tired of this nonsense. People think I am crazy setting these weird conditions for Swartz alone, out of all those thousands of authors. Now you know why. I did promise Gene to keep a lid on this unseemly affair. But Gene is long dead, and I no longer feel obliged to cover up the dirty laundry in this field. The whole business is sickening. Cold fusion attracts a lot of low-lifes, unfortunately. If you have a printed proceedings you can easily confirm that Swartz's papers are not uploaded anywhere on the Internet. Just type in a few lines from the abstract for one. Don't ask me for the text!For the record, and as best as I can tell, Dr. Swartz has never had anything bad to say about anyone's mother.
