to those who wrote me about the randomness of the event itself...
i'm not suggesting that the essence of the story was manufactured...it's
what's done with it--and this includes by researchers and news publishers.
just consider the page one status of the story combined with a certain
overeager aspect in the issuance of such "news"...news which is so fragile
that it can be swiped aside INSTANTEOUSLY. (check out the interval of
time--or lack thereof--between the posting of the smithsonian's and jpl's
press releases on "1997 XF11")
these are the times in which we live. get your popcorn.

i'll be taking a short break from this list.
be well and enjoy-
