Re: list policy poll

>I suggest that the Fringe leave us alone, not the other way around.

Thanks Gene, and well said.

Whether we like it or not, the web has an abundance of UFO/conspiracy
theory/"Project Stargate II: Explorations into the Star Knowledge of the
Indigenous Masters" sites and mailing lists. As long as there is free
speech on the net, there will also be pseudoscientific web sites
"explaining" knucklehead theories. And why not? There's room in cyberspace
for everyone, no matter how silly their ideas may seem to us.

However, I don't post technical questions about meteorites to UFO-theory
lists, so I consider it my right to admonish (okay, ridicule) people who
contaminate our private, subscriber-only, science-based List with that type
of crackpot junk email -- especially when such email arrives mixed in with
official NASA news items.

Most of our List members contribute to intelligent debates on complex
issues -- issues which, in many instances, still do not have clear-cut
answers. We don't need to waste time here with pseudoscience. Let's make it
clear that posts about UFO debris, Project Stargate, and similar whimsical
notions are not welcome on our List.

Hence my original comment regarding the Project Stargate post:  "Try

p.s.  I'd like to share this amusing comment, which just arrived from one
of my friends:  "You know there have been cover-ups at NASA. They cover up
the main engines before launches to prevent foreign material that could
effect the engines performances and other such objects. Perhaps that is
what they are talking about?"
