A matter of opinion.

A vector has magnitude and direction.  I once knew a vector. He
was my friend.  You are no vector.  You see, you have magnitude,
but no direction.  At least no indicated direction.

They may.

Maybe there is a definite difference in their technology vs.
ours?

Well, for one thing, you assume (and we all know what happens
when one assumes) that the corroborating evidence to which some
adhere, is not corroborating evidence to some others; like you,
for instance.

Evidence is offered and you reject it.  So therefor there is no
evidence. Good thinking.

Dear Mr. Menace;

 >Talk amongst yourselves.

We did.

 >Get back to me.

Ummm.... why assume it's worth the effort?

It isn't.  Although I must admit it's cathartic and lots of fun.

I'll say this much.  You certainly got Klass.

those minds are so shut tight, that there is some concern as to
whether there is even one in there at all!
