I recall the thread and am glad that we got the press (tragic event that it was, the final voyage was observed and marvelled at by those who did not realize what they were truly seeing).
I have to wonder though if they learned of the FR thread from FR or the DU thread that pointed at it (after the fact).
Don't know. But, to Tom Kuntz, thank you for a nice piece and thank you from the FreeRepublic community.
