Subj: Timing of Messages

Is there any information we can gather about the TCs based on the
timing between the messages?  I suspect we don't have enough detail
to figure out much, but I noticed that #1 and #2 were 3 days apart,
#2 and #3 were 5 days apart, and #3 and #4 were 10 days apart.  (Also,
David Levine said he was waiting for "the right time" to post #5,
although it may be cheating to rely on that.)

Is there anything to be gained -- even just a prediction of when the
next message might come -- from the timing information?  I don't know
enough astronomy to be able to figure out if this is significant,
but might there be some information to be gleaned from it as to the
length of their year or something?
