What do I think? Well I think SETI is a waste of time cos if
they do communicate across the interstellar distances it will be
by some other form of pulse emission. And for all those who say
that a sufficiently far advanced civilisation would be able to
backwardly communicate with us techno-nerds I say this: Why
would an advanced civilisation want to communicate with a
backward race? Surely they would only be interested in races as
advanced as themselves or more advanced than themselves? Which
doesn't mean they wouldn't want to study us, I.E. like we study
animals in the wild.

James, you are one corrupt American <G> May the WAD be with you
<G>
>>But if we have been visited????
>Nope. It was all swamp gas. We learned that in Klass.
ME didn't go to Klass Me found it annoying and blinkered.
>Crazy idea number six was explained to the Pope. He was so
>shocked at hearing it that he fainted dead away. That's why he
>looks so, so, I dunno, so drawn!
And there was me thinking the Pope looked like that cos of the
confessions of the alter boys?

Pray tell, enlighten me, QSL card?
> >>5) Sal Mineo was Jewish.
> >Who the hell was Sal Mineo?
>Errol, I keep on telling you, get more old farts on this list,
>man. Too few of your people even knew Sal! Pulease?
Well who the hell is Sal Mineo?
>I thank you from the bottom.....
>of my heart. Which is attempting to continue to beat in spite
>of that bat rastard Kevin blowing harder than Phil on a roll
>right outside my long wire, 80 meter dipoles and that
>multi-element sucker I put up when I bought this joint.
Joint, damn not only do you drink Gripple but you smoke dope,
Jim. You wanna be careful there might be Police ear-oles on this
list.
>J. Jaime Gesundt, Ph.D.'s too numerous to mention
>It's a curse!>
When I get as cursed, I'll let you have my opinion on da curse.
