It is tempting to "straighten out their thinking" or to show one's wit and erudition the first time one of these nutty things is posted; but surely one can overcome the temptation on second posting. No matter how good your argument, it is pissing in the wind. Those smart enough to appreciate it do not need it. It is wasted on the others. By responding--either "for" OR "against" you keep the thread going and displace useful discussion and wastes the resources of the newsgroup. "Bad money drives out good"--ditto dumb "discussions"; and they drive out colleagues who might otherwise make this a worthwile newsgroup. Please: restrain the impulse to reply to THIS or any other post relevant to "abductions" etc. Let it die a merciful death.
