   I don't rather think he is fabricating these observations.  He is indeed
very frquently observing, and sent me and other colleagues many e-mails
(and phones in the past ... when I was at the observatory telescope, I had
a feeling that I have received nightly requests...) to confirm his possible
outburst detection.

   I just received from an e-mail from him to confirm the possible outburst
of QW Ser, which he may have seen at 13.7 on Apr. 19.128 UT.  I believe he
could not have fabricated these figures.
