Thank you Wendy. I totally agree with the last two paragraphs.

I only rarely bother to post information. When I do, it is
pounced on as an old cow by Piranha, only to be ripped to shreds
by those who fancy themselves "experts."

I went through all of this back in the late 80's and up to the
mid-90's when the "BBS" (Bulletin Board System) was active and
the main source of computer communication via such groups as:
MUFONET, & FIDONET, among others.

The very discussions which are taking up so much band width here
and now, were what was being discussed back then. Yet, one group
grows older... slides over... another, younger group takes their
places and start the cycle over again.

I tired of all this bickering ten years ago... it got boring
then and is boring now. And guess what? The same old worn out
themes, were discussed by the very same "experts" then!

The "experts" stay the same, only the people to whom they are
expounding change. Those of us who got our fill of it back then,
simply hit "delete" when we see these message headers which go
on endlessly, and look with great anticipation for something
really New and Fascinating.

Unfortunately, I find very little of what is posted today to be
so.

Lights in the sky? How many of these reports have I read in the
past 15 years on the computer? In the past 45 years in the
media, i.e., books, TV, newspapers, and periodicals?

To many. IF there are not landing traces, daylight sightings of
an object within 500 yards, with accompanying VIDEO TAPE and
35mm photos, then I could care less about hearing about it.

So someone sees a flying disk in 1999 at a distance of three to
five miles... so what?  What good does that do us? What good did
it do us in 1947? 1954? 1960? All that it did back then was clue
us in to the idea that there was a phenomena which we might wish
to take a long, long, long, long hard look at.

But, 50 years have passed and what has really changed? The
stories continue to accrue. But, what of the hands-on hard
facts? How many of those have made themselves available to you,
I, or the mass of humanity after all these years of teasing and
tempting us?

Those who place themselves about The Law take the position that
you, I and the mass of humanity are mere "babes" in
understanding and therefore choose to wipe our snotty noses,
change our diapers, and feed us the pablum which they have
decided we need to keep us happy.

What we have today is the next generation of infants, making
noises for attention. Each generation grows up to think it is
better educated, more informed, and better able to handle the
"secret" than the generation before them.

The problem is that it is the "Generation from WWII which is
still controlling this "secret." So, it doesn't matter how much
you think you are deserving, their ideas, attitudes, and
approach to the subject of "UFO's" and all related Phenomena is
the one which counts.

We can have the smoking gun. Won't matter. We can have the
Military Officers who worked on projects dealing with this
issue...won't matter. We can have respected Scientists,
Politicians, and Financiers come forward and support our desire
to have the truth made known. Won't matter. Nothing will change!
Nothing is going to change. If we think it is, then we are sadly
mistaken, and open ourselves up to opportunists, who will slid
right in and bilk us of our money, time, and intelligence.

So, with that, I wish you well. I hope you "prove me wrong."

To quote a passage from a Religious Text: "Don't look back..."
