WTF is CF and ICCF18?

Maybe I would, should, could care if you were a little less cryptic and less dismissive.

Sorry I (and others like k5050) can’t jump right in and agree that this is amazing but for all I know it could be a new version of an F-18.

Even a little bit of clarification would help: I don’t need the summary you don’t have time for, but at least the topic and explaining the acronyms shouldn’t be too time consuming.

Then I would decide whether it was worth my time to delve into it or ignore it (rather than go into this screed that is further wasting my time — but how else would you know how I feel about your self-important post.)

Sorry you think I'm being "dismissive". That is not my intention. CF stands for "Cold Fusion", and ICCF18 is the "International Conference on Cold Fusion", and the 18th Conference dedicated to this topic to be held.

"Sorry I (and others like k5050) can’t jump right in and agree that this is amazing but for all I know it could be a new version of an F-18."

Perhaps you should actually try clicking through to the linked material, or at least the abstract instead of bitching. The slides are at least somewhat self explanatory.

And of course, a quick Google search of ICCF18 might tell you something.

Possibly true, but you have no idea what my schedule looks like. I'm doing well to have posted what I did.

Nothing "self-important" about it intended at all. Feel free to continue (or not). This is mostly intended for the people who have been following this topic on FR for the last 18 months or so.
