Of course, if you say where you'll be at the time of the flare, you'll
no longer be anonymous.  :-)

So just for drill, I put in the coordinates of the Rose Bowl instead,
on the theory that there may still be tailgate parties going on there
at that hour.  I sent the following mail through mixmaster(1):

   To: www4mail at wm.ictp.trieste.it
   Cc: alt.anonymous.messages at newsanon.yi.org
   From: alt.anonymous.messages at newsanon.yi.org

This sends a request for the predict through a chain of 3 anonymizing
remailers to the web-to-mail gateway trieste, with a Reply-To: to the
mail-to-news gateway newsanon.yi.org.  This will cause the predict to
appear on usenet newsgroup alt.anonymous.messages (of which one takes
a full feed at all times without interruption, for privacy).

With that, I join Dennis Birney in wishing all a Happy New Year!
