Yes it's over.... for the time being, and just as the information said, it was never a certainty anyway...there were never dates given by the real
poster of the information in the first place, and it's also over because people obviously can't read or equate information given.
I have to surmise that the recent posters didn't read the link where the true poster of the information came forward, name and all provided, but
still does not refute the information, simply claims it as his,
without the dates.

Inbound Meteor
Story Plagiarized
From Don Best
5-8-4
Hello Jeff,
Thank you for having me on your radio show May 6, and giving me the best opportunity to disassociate myself from the article:
"Is Earth In Imminent Danger From Inbound Meteors?" found at
www.bushcountry.org...
Unfortunately, the writer has obviously been reading what I have been posting at www.timebomb2000.com under the "forum user" name of
dragonslayer2001.
I had already posted almost every bit of information listed in the article, and tied the various bits and pieces together. Then the plagiarist not
only takes my work, effort, thoughts and data collation, he also steals my Red Flag thread word for word and claims it as his own.
I found all the information that I have spent months digging up curious, and alarming, and certainly worth keeping an eye on. However, in all of my
threads, the two referenced here, and the others he/she has taken information from,
I have been careful to state that nothing is proven, only that
there are a lot of "signs" that something MIGHT be up.
Being ripped off like this is flattering, but it is creating problems.
Even at www.timebomb2000.com, the forum where I usually post,
I have been accused of writing this article, and making unfounded claims that the
"world will end" in a number of weeks.
Nonsense.
I have no information that can define a date or time of anything happening. I do feel that
we are in a time of great
danger due to the instability of the sun and a number of changes taking place on our planet and a number of other planets in our solar system.
The passage of recent meteors and comets of course holds a certain amount of danger and always will.
Now, the writer of the article clearly separates himself from the anonymous information posted on www.godlikeproductions.com by "noted and warned",
who makes all the dire forecasts and leaves tantalizing clues and timelines.
But then the writer links to www.timebomb.com to a thread that I started in February called "Comets of Spring 2004". This has the effect of
directing people to where I post, and links my user name to meteor information.
Then, a little further on in the bushcountry.org article, the plagiarist lifts whole cloth, a thread that I started entitled "Red Flags". He/she
then uses the stolen information "first person" so that people will naturally assume that "dragonslayer2001" and the anonymous bushcountry.org
writer are one and the same, and by implication, that "noted and warned" may even be the same person.
I have contacted bushcountry.org for over a week. They have not responded. Their article popped up on numerous sites almost immediately, which makes
me suspect it was seeded on purpose.
I am asking here, on your site, that they remove the article immediately and post a disclaimer that a plagiarist stole information, purposely set
links to implicate someone else, and that the writer "dragonslayer2001" has never stated that we are going to get bombarded with commentary debris
any time soon.
Thank you,
Don Best
