Re: [Utah-astronomy] Comet ISON in the A.M.

Chuck:   Kohoutek was an incident from the days before the internet.  Today hype will happen whether anyone likes it or  not.  The "public" is a great deal more sophisticated then back then.   They can handle it.    The print media is no longer the primary source of information on ANY topic.  We have no need to police the content of the print media   And there are no longer any real "gatekeepers" on information flowing to the media.  Information flows around them and they are lucky if they can just keep up with it.   So a lesson from the days of the rolodex and the rotary dial phone just doesn't cut it with me anymore.  I'm more interested in what's in the sky today and I can read through the hype if I have to.   DT
