In her latest IRC chat Nancy backpedaled further on her oft repeated
and now repudiated "mid 2002" viewing date for amateurs (I have
snipped the usual of topic interuptions):
-----------------------------------------------------
Live ZetaTalk Chat on Aug 03, 2002

[15:03] <NancyL> ZT: As Planet X becomes visible in the skies to
amateurs during the Fall of 2003, and increasing in size so that those
without the aid of scopes can see it by Spring,
...
[15:15] <NancyL> ZT to Sam: When PX becomes visible this fall, to
amateurs, it will be called alternatively noise, a fleating comet, a
fleating nova, or a delusion.

[15:16] <NancyL> ZT: Only images can register SOMETHING, and few
amateurs have the equipment to register an infrared object.

[15:16] <Guest25> px was first "visible" last fall, then jun-jul 2002,
now fall 2002..

[15:16] <NancyL> ZT: Also, the bending of red light, which allow the
amateur to FIND the object when he/she looks around the spot, will
continue to support redicule so that it is stated that DIFFERENT
objects are being sighted.

[15:16] <NancyL> End ZT to Sam.

[15:17] <TerrorDactyl> yes you did say mid 2002, so why is it now fall
2002

[15:17] <Guest25> first it was magnitude 2, then mag 10 (or was it
11), then 20....
...

[15:17] <Zetapal> terror - a common misquote - private me for an
explanation if you want

[15:18] <TerrorDactyl> no it isnt a misquote i was on here when she
said it

[15:18] <Le_Renard--> NancyL: first mid 2002. now fall 2002?

[15:18] <NancyL> Terror, it could be viewed by amateurs NOW, size
wise, if not for light pollution.

IMO Comments

[15:16] Note, now she implies that only amateurs with IR equipment
would be able to look for her planet. Previously that was her story
as to why only "observatory grade" equipment could be used up until
"mid 2002" when amateurs would have their chance.

[15:18] Since the position she points to is now well above the horizon
while the pre-dawn sky is still full dark, she is blowing smoke here.
See http://us.geocities.com/openmindxx/ and click "Look for
Yourselves" for a sky map showing when/where to look.

I repeat to Nancy believers, go out and look at the sky in the early
AM. You will see that her "light pollution" story simply does not
hold water. Demand that she give explict instructions as to what you
should see, where you should see it, and how bright it should be.

IM Openmind is full of sh**. Zetatalk discusses this dude. The reason he is
trying to debunk the 12th planet is for his own benefit.

Glenn <none@nospam.com> (the latest Zetacult appologist) spewed forth
in message news:<ukujislnq9flae@corp.supernews.com>...

And that benefit would be? You cult members just hate logical,
verifiable, documented facts and reason, don't you?

I see you have nothing to counter his assertions either. Did you go
out and look? Do you even know where to find the last coordinates? DO
you even own a telescope? My guess is that you don't even know what
direction to look, and probably wouldn't know what direction you were
looking unless you had a compass with you.

IMO has never *tried* to debunk the ZetaCult, he *has*. You, as well
as the rest of your peers underneath Nancy's skirt, would do well by
actually picking up a astronomy book and *reading* it.

The only point you've made by posting to this newsgroup is how utterly
ignorant you (and the rest of your cult members) are about astronomy,
physics and math.

All you've managed to do was show the fear and instability within the
cult, now that Nancy has been shown to be a Charlatan and a fraud -
again. The closer her doomsday prophecy date comes, the more crazed
and illogical you cult members become, because you see that nothing's
happening that even remotely resembles Nancy's failed predictions.
POsting fake pictures, claiming the people used the HUbble to view it,
a constant barrage of undocumented, unverifiable, foolish and ignorant
claims. Changing your story every few days to account for it's
invisibilty to hundreds of thousands of amateurs across the world
isn't going to make it magically appear.

You people are a sorry lot.
