Hm
I decided to do some more digging on the Rod Meredith front. At a quick glance the other day I disregarded the Tomorrow's World report of his death as I thought it was only a newsletter for his church, and precedent suggests newsletters don't count (as with John Vennari, who had to wait for The Remnant for a QO). However, looking into the source more, while it is associated with his church (which has a separate website of its own), it looks to have an established magazine, television, and radio presence, enough that the Twitter account for Tomorrow's World has the little "verified" tick next to its name.
Would it count? Heef and I's tie will be a thrilling legal drama one day, I just know it...
