I posted PREDICTION OF CATASTROPHE to SCI.SKEPTIC and
ALT.PROPHECIES.NOSTRADAMUS
and gave the day of the week.
This DENIAL that a prediction took place at all is your ADMISSION that
it was a HIT!
The discussion in the thread is obvious that people knew it was a time
stamped prediction.
Skeptics are all cheats who have never scored a single hit to anything
subjective in the last 100 years.
