No, I'll NOT use the red X. You all have the right, no matter how wrong you are. The last Jefferson quote remains true and correct for you all who Na Say...

That is like trying to justify that a stopped clock is more accurate than one running slow. Because the stopped clock is correct twice a day.

Not sure I've seen anybody +1 their own post before, is this an indication of dissociative identity disorder?
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

Just a new concept based in creativity. The more ID posts the more we know about him, I enjoy the novel ideas.

Perhaps, or perhaps he is beginning to question his own belief system. Oh wait, that would be DID wouldn't it? Never mind.

You act as if the S@H fora are the only places you can find these.
This also is a novel idea.
At least when these ideas are espoused by people you know offline, there is opportunity for discussion and the finding of common ground. Even friendship.
Such possibilities here are few and far between.

Sarge, good point, but you have to admit there are some wild thinkers in this scientific project. I guess that is one of the things which makes SETI so cool.

thought you could use a few more random quotes that pretty much are pointless

That would not be a quote from Jefferson.

Nor is any of the quotes I have posted---random. All have a point pertinent to the subject at hand.
