Default final Pleiades occultation

My article in the NYSkies website about the final Pleiades
occultation may be misleading to some readers far from New York. It's
at 'www.nyskies.org/articles/pazmino/plei-occ.txt'.
When I began this piece in November it was for City astronomers.
Yes, for them this December 28th occultation IS the last one for the
next 14 years.
I elaborated the article over the next weeks, until the latest
revision of December 6. Note that, largely from requests from you
readers, I keep the initial date in the article's head and bump up
only the currernt date.
Because the website is open for worldwide readers, some readers
offered that in their towns the Pleiades occultations already ended
for this current round. Others noted that there are a couple more
events before their season ends.
Both comments can be true! You must get Pleiades predictions for
your town because an occultation is sensitive to local circumstances.
What happens in New York may not prevail elsewhere.
The article is, on the other, lauded for its technical details
and
it attracted almost a thousand hits since it was first hung in mid
November. However, you must apply its procedures to your own site.
