Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!

[Form letter purged because OM hates getting form letters]

Cites to "Cyrannus"

You have anything to cite this information? --Shane (T - C - E) 23:52, 3 September 2006 (CDT)

I've tagged as requiring citations the things I couldn't trivially verify, sentence-by-sentnce; ideally, a few tags can be replaced by one source. You certainly seem knowledgeable on the topic, and I hope you take the time to contribute sources. --CalculatinAvatar(C-T) 02:58, 4 September 2006 (CDT)

NASA

I'm not going to mention your name, but are you the same "OM" that worked for NASA and now a news consultant? --FrankieG 14:13, 4 September 2006 (CDT)

[Insert Shocked At Absurdity Look]

...BWHAHAAAAHH! No, I'm not Jim Oberg. I'm OM, a space history colleague of Jim Oberg, tho. But then again, all of us on sci.space.history *are* Jim Oberg, according to the anti-NASA trolls. Good guess, tho, and besides, if I *were* JimO, do you think I'd have gotten hammered for that overkill on cites?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by OM (talk • contribs).

Anti-NASA Trolls? Who could not like NASA? ;-) --Shane (T - C - E) 19:34, 4 September 2006 (CDT)
I was spending a lot of time on some of those groups (lurking) following the Columbia disaster, so did I get you two confused? --FrankieG 19:41, 4 September 2006 (CDT)
