Oh hello Astroman I thought you had decided to call it a day. And I was wondering maybe the merest thought that I might have something was starting to speculate about the possibility of crossing your mind. Not a chance eh? Lets try and put you right once again. 1) Bursts. 5079 was within an error radius of 10 degrees. Yes you can get a constellation in that but it was just 8 days from the nominal date calculated using the best distance for the star.(s&t 1998 mar pg 26). 3914 I had to give a 10% distance error which gave a bracket of +&- 5.2 months. It was just outside a 6.23 error radius. But no other bursts near for +&- 6 months. I knew this was tenuous evidence when I looked at the 4b catalog 3 years ago but I was expecting to find nothing indeed part of me hoped I would not so I could put it behind me. 2) Delay. Do not be obtuse you know exactly what my model is by now. The neutrino bubble expands from the supernova at lightspeed and hits other stars. Hope you are not trying to confuse the casual reader. Incidentally the 1987a ones were 100 times more energetic than solar ones. (read John Cramer, OG articles on the web). 3) COMPTON rip. I think it was an encouragement to bring MIR down. But I keep thinking that confirming my prediction was not a desired use of 900 million dollars. But being a citizen of another country means I have to be polite about it. Look up irony. 4) Google. It normally take a few weeks for items to be listed and they stay if the site still exists and this one does. Bluster about paranoia if you like the facts speak for themselves there was skullduggery here. Lastly I hope other readers may be getting on with researching my ideas using CD ROM databases of the nearest stars and matching with IPN data. There is nothing wrong with the physics. Try telling a particle physicist that highly energetic neutrinos will just bounce harmlessly off the surface of a neutron star and be on their way. Get with it Astroman do you not want to be a part of the biggest breakthrough in Astronomy for decades or do you want to stay in the official fantasy land of hypernovae and mini big bangs? Best wishes Pete. ( thats called going for broke I think:)
