Abstract: Let $q_n$ denote the $n^{th}$ number that is a product of exactly two distinct primes. We prove that $$liminf_{n o infty} (q_{n+1}-q_n) le 6.$$ This sharpens an earlier result of the authors (arXivMath NT/0506067), which had 26 in place of 6. More generally, we prove that if $
u$ is any positive integer, then $$ liminf_{n o infty} (q_{n+ u}-q_n) le C( u) = u e^{
u-gamma} (1+o(1)).$$ We also prove several other results on the representation of numbers with exactly two prime factors by linear forms.
