My theory is that neither the ice nor the cold nor the possible
nitrogen had anything to do with ET's recovery.  The overwhelming
number of people trying to make ET recover was frightening it.
I think that either ET was faking it to get rid of the people
(after all it worked!) or it just needed to be left alone (which
is what happened when it recovered.

By the way, it seems to me that saying "spoiler" inside of an article
is sort of useless.  People like me who read news at 9600 baud really
don't have a chance to type a ^C after starting an article, and people
who read news at 300 baud really don't want to see the many lines
of spoiler warnings.  Saying "Spoiler" in the header is what is really
needed.
