As there were speculations in other posts like COMET MEMBER LOGIN; ZIP FOLDER DATE MATCHES PODESTA PASTA DINNER WITH ALAFANTIS about connections between different sites cause of the same login area (http://www.cometpingpong.com/protected/) and administration I want to share my results in investigating. My approach only covers the technical aspects and not the content of the sites. Always remember that false and fast accusations could harm innocent people and waste your time .
Login Form:
The login form used by http://www.cometpingpong.com is just an out of the box JIMDO solution. JIMDO is a website hosting provider which makes it pretty easy to build homepages.

I checked some of the sites and could not find any connections besides bucksfishingandcamping.com and cometpingpong.com are made by the same IT company. So this is more like the "Don't dig into wrong directions" post, but maybe you can use it for own investigation.

I would look into reedcooke.org in particular, exact same creation date as Comet website. It may be a total fake website, hiding something else.

Kalorama is the area that Tony Podesta lives in, and that Obama is moving to shortly. It's about 15 minutes from Comet.

Yeah, I thought so. That other post had some inaccuracies but I didn't have time to go through this. Good work. Forwards! SIEG HEIL!
