Hello George,
Not quite sure what you mean. In my WGN article I clearly stated that you
issued your report 'a few days before' [15/16 June], and certainly did not
state that you viewed it on June 15/16. The reference in my article is to
the mail in which you pointed that (your earlier report) out to me: I didn't
have the mail of june 11/12 at my disposal since I have no internet/e-mail
connection myself (unfortunately): all my mailing is via Casper ter Kuile,
who I visit quite a lot and telephone quite a lot (I actually only knew of
your mail by telephonic contact with Casper!). I went for a month of
archaeological fieldwork in Britain only a few days after June 15/16, so I
didn't have the time to check things out to all extends
Kind regards (and good luck with observing),
-Marco
PS: that mail of June 12 was probably lost here since at that time Casper's
e-mail provider broke down, or otherwise it drowned in the host of mails
from those days.
