Tholen,

Mike Brown, the astronomer who wrote the book bragging that he had killed Pluto, tweeted a couple months ago that he was vacationing in Hawaii. I tweeted to ask if he was going see David Tholen. He tweeted back asking if you were there. I sent him the information on you from your university website.

Did he ever look you up?

I thought the two of you might have some real grudges to settle!

What does any of that have to do with OS/2, Double-A?

What does your question have to do with OS/2, Double-A?

1036> I thought the two of you might have some real grudges to settle!

What does your thought have to do with OS/2, Double-A? And why would I
have a grudge against Brown, Double-A? Does he routinely make large
numbers of off-topic posts to an OS/2 newsgroup, Double-A?

I don't know, but it certainly has to do with astronomy!

Well, the only one hanging in this group seems to be an over the hill astronomer who once claimed to be an expert on something that is no longer even a planet!

What do your classic erroneous presuppositions have to do with OS/2,
Double-A? *You* are hanging in this group, Double-A, though I don't know
why since you show so little interest in OS/2, Double-A.

Got your auxiliary power generator all fueled up? I hear that as soon as the lava reaches the power plant, it will be lights out for the whole big island! Too bad.

What you hear is irrelevant, Double-A.

Perhaps your argument that Pluto should be classified as a planet
would have carried more weight, if you were not a world-reknowned
kook, tholen.

Herbert Glazier has just predicted August 28 as the day Kilauea explodes in a Krakatoa sized blast! I am just warning that you had best be off the big Island by then!

Who is "Herbert Glazier", Double-A? There is nobody in this newsgroup
using that alias.

What does your ridiculous warning have to do with OS/2, Double-A?
