It took a while didnt it, I was surprised it wasnt on the news in recent days.
As for the credit, its only fair play, who could have honestly thought of it was a "tip off"?
How can someone get a tip off about an impact on Jupiter, did they overhear it been mentioned in a bar or something?, morons! :stooges:
