Bob,
You are so lucky...I think? I've acquired the impression from Alan Hale and
thru others who has made contact with him that he is trying to milk this
thing for all it's worth...financially that is. I personally have a lesser
respect of him due to this. On the other hand...his co-discoverer Bopp seems
to be less commercial over this comet and more modest about his find.
