Titor: It's all gone a bit quiet hasn't it?
I've been busy for the last 3 months and haven't had the chance to check the internet until today. Expecting some kind of development in the whole Titor story I checked Anomalies, the official website and here but to my disappointment I found that...absolutely nothing had happened since I'd been away. A few references to black holes and microsingularities but apart from that...nothing.
I've followed this story for 3 years now and it always seemed to me that something was going on, whether it be a bit of drama, a new discovery regarding Titor, claims of debunking him or knowing who he is, or just general discussion. This seems to have dried up. Or have I missed something? We're 4 months into 2005, a critical time in our history according to Titor, I guess I just expected a bit more activity yet it seems as though people have lost interest in Titor. Anyone agree?
So, I was thinking...If the interest seems to be drying up, sales of mugs and key-rings decreasing grin: ), what would be the best way of creating a bit of interest again and maybe even making a bit of money again? Own up to the hoax of course. If I was behind the Titor hoax I'd be writing a book right now, detailing the why's, how's, where's of the hoax. I'd buy that book and I bet a lot of others would too, far more interesting than their effort so far, the content of which is freely available on the internet anyway. And I know my money would be going to a con-man, but a highly intelligent one at that who has provided much entertainment for the past 5 years - no mean feat I'm sure you'd agree.
This is assuming, of course, that it is a hoax. Anyway, rambled a bit there but I'd just like to know your thoughts. Is the Titor story dying? And will the hoaxer step forward soon to create interest again? Or, does anyone still believe that he is NOT a hoax?
