- "Dec. 21 doomsday rumours keeping scientists busy" at The Toronto Star

I note the regrettable tendency of the news coverage to give me (Bill Hudson a.k.a. Astrogeek) the lion's share of the credit (if not all of it) for setting up this site. Let me reiterate for anyone unfamiliar with the history of this site: I am a relative late-comer to the group of people who founded this site. I'm just the tech-head who set up the domain and the site. I'm also a pretty fast typist which helped me to crank out a lot of the articles, but the content of those articles belongs in large part to the original group. In particular bikenbeer2000,
ticktock, and
Alene Y, among a group of others. However, I think that gets edited out of the coverage even though I discussed it with the reporter (The Toronto Star article is the only one in this list that I collaborated on, the other stories apparently jumped off from the Wall Street Journal coverage).
