Quite healthy in my opinion! Thank you. And, although I posted it to this list by accident, I can't help but wonder what harm was done. It is not the ravings of a lunatic, but the careful and well-researched writing of a scientist, Dr. Jacques Vallee. Nonetheless, I agree it is quite large and should not have been dumped here. > Now a note on these large postings in general.

Anyone wishing to be on a private mailing list for other pieces should write to me at mcorbin@paranet.org. I am happy to pass along other interesting writings to those who wish it privately.
