I'm sorry folks …
This will have to be my last post!
After 4 years battling this stupid hoax here, and in my blog .. I need a rest !!

I can't guarantee to help you in the future if you continue to believe what the trolls and doom-merchants are inventing.

Remember this: if there isn't any scientific evidence for a claim it is invalid. Period.

Could the last person remember to turn the lights out? Thank you! :)
LOL !!

As we lay this hoax to rest, we have to hope that we've made enough of a difference to the lives of affected people to justify the effort we put into this site. I think we did and am reminded of a different online experience, where I worked as a poetry judge for a year and a half, posting a new contest every week with the help of a few other regulars. After a few months, we added a new judge, one of the youngsters that began submitting poems from the beginning. He had shown such great progress that after only a few months, he was good enough to help out choosing new winners, and of course, helping the "non-winners" to improve.

I think about this sometimes when I see people that came to this site bothered by the 2012 hoax and after only a short while, became regular contributors, helping other people with similar fears. THAT is my answer when I ask "Did we make a difference?"

Seconded, or thirded, whatever. I know we made a huge difference. Just look at all the posts telling us how much we helped them. It's been a long haul, but it was well worth it.

How will we know what we need to do in regard to the Cosmophobia site, and when and how to contribute for its cost?

Thanks very much everybody for your very kind words! .. It feels like the end of an era!! ..

The world isn't really that big when we have the Internet, and strangers can join together to battle a common threat.

I hope you all have "happy holidays" and a very good New Year. … cheers!
