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.

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.
