The whole long before 2012 thing was seemingly posted to keep people hooked or interested, a good tactic. Then when it didn't happen it's just stated "well it's not 2012 yet in the ET understanding". Clearly people weren't asking about the ET understanding when asking if it would happen before the linear year 2012. Maybe that was not the intent to generate interest by using this attention grabbing tactic, but it is something used by many popular doomsday threads on GLP. Set or hint at dates and then come up with some sort of questionable reason why nothing happened later...

Just an observation, not an attack. But we've got to be allowed to speak our minds and not hold back out of fear of being called a shill so I thought I'd post my thoughts on that matter.
