Thanks all for your knowledgeable replies!!!

Your
quantitative approach to this subject is
GREATLY appreciated, and, I might add, rather refreshing

!!!
Please know that I share your feelings Re: the, groundless, non sequitur, and often insensitive, rationalizations (read
machinations) of the skeptics!!! Proofs of extraordinary claims
necessarily fall to the claimants!!! - In this they have failed miserably- it is a sad comment upon human nature that groundless iconoclasm should enjoy (relatively) wide acceptance sans personal examination of the data

--- It is tempting (and rather trite) to blame 'Watergate' - However I doubt it is that simple…
Again *THANK YOU*!!!
Very best regards
Dan Sarandon
