There are a whole bunch different of ways to go with this -- and as one of the "satirists" it would be unseemly for me to vent too much black bile <g>(and besides, I'm of the mind that the occasional gripple-bust is just what the good doctor ordered); however, "I gots to say _sumpin_'" This field needs the satire, Mr. Randle. It needs the satire every bit as much as it needs _your_ tireless efforts and boundless courage. It needs it to be used as a lens to explore the humor of conscience. It needs it to humanize and make assessable to a lower, yes _lower_ common denominator, the very real people you expect to support your much needed investigation. It needs it to interest people generally excluded by the hard to qualify and quantify _details_ of your very crucial work. All work and no play (and it's not really play at all, is it?), makes Jack a dull boy. Finally, don't suggest we do to ufology what the government did to the space program -- make it boring. Satire is a way to open up the scope and view, chase demons breathing on all of us, and give our endeavors a little more depth of field. >They are taking up more and more bandwidth and since the >headers never tell us if it is another satire, I wish we could >do away with them. Perhaps -- In the same manner you find my identified Odes easily deleteable, Jim could call his contributions "Gripes from the Gripple Works" "Gesundt's Hights" or even "Wine Before It's Time" -- then you could delete them as quickly as you can any of my tedious contributions. But I think you would be making a mistake, missing something, and needlessly limiting your ufological length and breadth. C'mon Major -- lighten up <g>. Have a little gravy on yer mashed potatoes!
