Sometime around Feb 1996 there was a thread visible
on Aus.politics re "Goldilocks and the Ozone Layer", that saw
Grieg Ebeling making quite a few claims along -- let's just say -- 
"suspiciously parallel lines". 

Some of the "explanations" he used were also remarkably
similar to what pass for footnotes in Rushbo's book. A few of the
c1970 references cited in both cases were the same.

But, of course, that doesn't "irrefutably prove" anything.

I'm afraid I don't recall seeing whatever might have been
the reply by Grieg to any allegations that may have been made
regarding him having inadvertently cop^h^h^h^h^hduplicating some 
of these argument and forgetting to attribute them, or perhaps not 
knowing where he may have seen, read or heard them.

It seemed that around that time Grieg may have taken an extended
and well-deserved break from the part of Usenet I tend to read.
