    Hi hstsearch,

        But his were data that were already published, so it's not quite the
    same kind of information sharing.

        It's also a bit strange he would seem surprized by the rapid fading in
    z-band. Our new observations match what both Ariel and I predicted for a
    Ia at this redshift.

        In any case, it sounds to me as though no one promised to give Adam as
    many details as he is now asking for. I will forward to hstsearch Adam's
    latest response.

    Rachel
