Pretty quiet and non-specific for YOU, Paul. Why are you mumbling into your palm? Since you didn't want to get specific, here's some specifics from a fellow Canada resident, posted on their web site in late 1996, and still there. See if you can address the specifics mentioned in this web posting from Canada. I'll post excerpts from that web site as a series so EACH point can be addressed by you as a standalone, giving it the attention it deserves.
ISSUE 1: Why has NASA gone into a mod of withholding Hubble pictures from the public, withholding for a period of time, and using the Principal Investigator (giving a single tax payer the rights to withhold Hubble pics for a year) mode in particular to hide images supposedly taken of Hale-Bopp. Plenty of time to doctor them up, folks, and make sure they don't contradict each other.

What is the Truth?
The following hypothesis is based upon several months of pouring over numerous documents. Most were found on the WWW and available to all who have access to this medium. There are links within this document to find most of the information. Check it out for yourself.
I have had an interest in astronomy for many years and have had several college level classes on the subject. This current concern goes back to Shoemaker Levy 9(fig1). ... I was anxiously watching the tube waiting for that special moment to arrive. There were all of these JPL Caltech nerds sitting around a monitor, waiting as I was, for those first images. The camera was positioned to record the reactions of the nerds and in a small inset on my screen was the monitor image. How powerful, how magnificant to behold the power of such an event! ...
Recently when Galileo made its trip to Jupiter, I had already noticed that Jupiter's albedo (apparent luminesity) had been regularly increasing. I suspected because of the assault upon it by ShoemakerLevy9. (More recently, we've seen pics from Ganymede that apparently display core heating-of course months after they were taken!). So I watched and waited for the pics and info from Galileo at Jupiter. Then a funny thing happened... the images weren't coming back to the public at the same rate that the nerds were getting them. All of a sudden, it was, "It will take a few months to analyze the data before they are released." Things were held back, the data was limited to a few inert articles. The obvious question, "If they could show us immediate pictures a couple of years ago of SL9, why not now?"
