Like debating biblical fundamentalists about 4 legged insects in Leviticus (which don’t exist according to scientific observation), I get the feeling you are just grasping at the ether, Rev. Hopeandbelieve
You mis-quote me. I never said a "brief encounter" would be a good thing. I said "proof". Now move along and don't argue that with me too.

The problem Bill, is your "belief" that SETI supporters and those not so closed minded to the possible existance of ETI "believe" in ET. It's nothing of the sort. Those who "believe" in ET do so with no evidence at all, and are generally kooks.

I think the general consensus among readers here is more along the lines of:
  • ETI may exist
    It would be nice if it did
    It may not
    But without proof either way, I just don't know
    Bill Thompson is a "woo woo"

No one else here is getting frustrated that you don't agree with them. Why are you getting your panties in such a bunch that some people don't agree with you?
