WAIT A MINUTE!

That's what *I* and many, many others have been telling readers of this
list for *weeks* now! And all we've been getting is flames!

Linda Howe and Art Bell have been promoting the mystery companion all
this time and finally got some astronomers to say what everyone else
has been saying all along, and suddenly, Howe and Bell are somehow
vindicated?

Sorry, it doesn't work that way. This is what they should have done
*first*, before hyping the story.

Nice try, though.
