Phil and Kevin, I found your responses to Ron Reese and Mathman disturbing, to say the least. Although I know that the two of you, as well as Sherry Vance, have posted numerous times to 5 Doves about your studies, not everyone reads every post, especially if the post is long or contains a link to another website.

Instead of demanding "credit where credit is due", why not rather give credit to the One who reveals mysteries to His servants, and simply celebrate the fact that He has revealed to others much of the same information that He led you to discover? They are excited about it, and you should be glad for them. What purpose does it serve to insist that you figured it out first?

I've been blessed by Mathman's enthusiasm about what God has been showing him, and I find his humility appealing. And Ron has taken a lot of heat for his views on the Rapture, but as far as I know, he has been respectful to his critics, and has not insisted that he is right and everyone else is wrong. There is a lesson in those attitudes for all of us.
