Really Mike ... show me exactly where you have ascertained this amazing fact.
In fact, one person acknowledged that he jumped the gun on this, and in
fact Sky and Tel has neither said this nor done this. This has really been
a very fine example of hysteria and rumour-mongering.

That is not to say that we should not remain vigilant, but we must not look
like a bunch of nut-cakes either, and start shouting about conspiracy
theories. I actually know several of the Sky and Tel editors, and from what
I can see, they eat, breathe, and sleep this whole hobby ...

BTW Mike, are you on the RASC list ...

I think there was a Mike Marchand that unsubscribed from that list because
of a mail-system failure on the system at the Royal Ontario Museum ... I
thought with your e-mail address that you might be in Kent County in
southern Ontario.
