  In view of the data gathered in September 1997, we review the flux values
collected so far for the "fuzziness" seen in the optical counterpart of
GRB970228. Comparison between the ground based data collected in March and the
data of September 1997 suggests a fading of the fuzz. Given the diversity of
the data in hand, the magnitude of the effect and its significance are not easy
to quantify. Only new images, both from the ground and with the Space
Telescope, directly comparable to the old ones could settle this problem.
