Is anybody else fed up with the "closest to Earth since Neanderthals"
hype about Mars? Is this supposed to get the public panicked or

Mr. Oberg, I think you must have too much time on your hands
right now.

No kidding.  Although no doubt a multi-millionaire in
service to the "State" apparatus, O-BORG
feel obligated to plug up these newsgroups with
his "official" versions of events.

Most the stuff I have seen seems to be an attempt to raise
a bit of public interest.  Most of it hasn't been, in my
judgment, over-hyped.

I note that in addition to sci.space.history and alt.astronomy
which seem quite normal places to post that you
are also posting to alt.alien.visitors.

Dear friend, alt.alien.visitors is a VERY serious
newsgroup that deal with the SCIENCE of
UFOs, extraterrestrials and the alien presence.
Although at the current time, this group is plugged up
by KooKs (U. Bob, Chump-Pest),
Useful Idiots (The Sludge/Sage),
anal-sex fiends (Wider-Sham),
7-year old bed-wetters (Davis)
and low-level spOOks (Echelon, Borsch
and O-BORG).

Aren't you just adding to the fluff?

Oby always adds posts his nonsence.

OK, I like most of your posts.

WELL I DON'T WALSH!!
