(NancyL) IMO, I don't see how anyone can see Orion, the smoldering
brown dwarf, until FALL, else its in the dawn or such, right?

(N) Hehe

(NancyL) IMO is silent.

(NancyL) He's afraid I'll quote him.

Hmmm, Nancy? You're dissagreeing with the zetas. Blasphemy! Remember
the "zeta" prediction that PX would be visible in amateur scopes by
mid 2002? Mid 2002 is July 1st. Did the "zetas" FORGET that this would
not be possible? Whaaa?! Zetas wrong??? And yes, IMopen was right to
believe that anything he said would be twisted to serve your agenda,
just as you have done to him in the past. If he had answered "yes" to
your question(as you were trying to bait him into doing) you would
have quoted him **incorrectly** as saying that Planet X would be
visible in the fall, hmmm?

Actually, I would have told her she was wrong if I had been at the
keyboard. I can not take the stuff in her IRC chat at the slow rate
it is hacked out so I simply log in and then go do useful things
(looking back in very occassionally). I come back later to skim the
posts for laughs.

As I have posted here in "Planet X: IMO right, Nancy wrong, about when
to look" she was wrong when she said that her coordinates would be in
the sun till fall (and hence she was right when she said they would be
possible to observe in mid-year). It is not unusual to see folks like
Nancy able to hold two opposite ideas at the same time. Her problem
seems to be that she can not conceive of viewing the sky very early in
the morning. She kept looking at her planetarium program until she
found a date when her coordinates would be up in the evening. Go to
http://us.geocities.com/openmindxx/ to see a chart of the early
morning sky as it will appear from the southern hemisphere (Capetown
SA) and the northern hemisphere (Madison WI).
