Sam? Did you notice the *GALLOPING* incoherency of that ('hotsheets') post? The author (Terri) issued nothing more than a barrage of unrelated, misconceived and downright ignorant nonsense… For instance the referenced gamma-burst (GCN 030329) may well have *sourced* radiant energy equivalent to 1 Trillion (10^12) times the mean output of Sol ('The Sun') however our um… 'Cognitively challenged' (or intentionally obfuscatory) poster seems to have forgot her basic high school physics!!! (Case in point: "The Inverse Square Law" - It is, I think, for all intents and purposes, safe to regard supernovae (and their ilk) as 'isotropic radiators')

She (the poster) confounds and, at certain junctures, outright contradicts herself. It seems a 'thing' beyond obvious that she has 'cobbled together' sundry and assorted bits of data & blather (neither of which she has the least comprehension) from eclectic sources in a - miserably failed - attempt at (affected) erudition. Note, among other 'incongruities', her non sequitur introduction of politics and the upcoming Martian opposition - as if playing to the political sentiments and limited astronomical 'knowledge' of her cronies could legitimize her disjointed reverie --- *POLITICS ASIDE* 'Teri' is an ignoramus, a liar or both (Personally I suspect substance abuse to be an issue with several 'hotsheets' posters - hence their rambling 'cant')…

Sam you have been advised by other members of this forum that 'The Hotsheets' are disreputable and ununworthy of discussion here - Yet you persist in broaching the subject? Moreover your 'hit & run' style, apparent disregard of replies (for instance your refusal to explain yourself, as requested, on the Community sub-forum, ) point to (IMO) one conclusion:

YOU ARE A TROLL AFTER ALL --- AND *I* HAVE BEEN A CLASS *A* DUPE!!!

You will receive *NO* further replies from me (bet that ruins your day, aye? *NOT*)

Disappointed and abashed
