Fishy? No. A little disappointing, yes. I was hoping for a Solar Max to at least come close to the last two zingers. We could have truly witnessed some amazing stuff with SDO, SOHO, STEREO all working together with the internets and GLP. We may not have this opportunity 10 years from now. I had dream about a rogue x-flare, so keep hope alive.
