> Hi Everyone,
>
> With all due respect to all. This list has ONE forum. Almost ALL forums
> online have many forum categories, and most have an off-topic category
> forum for people to communicate their opinions and discuss off-topic
> posts. It keeps the community whole and gives members who wish to
> discuss off-topic issues, a choice. In other words you still do have a
> choice. Read the post or hit your delete key.
>
> The "Alien Life" thread is in fact either indirectly or possibly
> directly related to meteorites, and therefore VERY worthy of this list.
> Anyone who'd like to argue that notion should reconsider their own
> understanding of what the study of meteorites truly means and their own
> list membership. By complaining about seemingly off-topic posts in
> regards to aliens people are in effect saying they don't want to learn
> about their universe. Sorry if that seems harsh, but I've seen a lot
> worse things on this list than the serious philosophical and
> scientifically educated discussions of the possibility of life elsewhere
> in the universe.
>
> I for one would much rather discuss seriously the alien life subject in
> relationship to the studies being performed on meteorites, and the
> evidence being found within them that support the notion of life
> elsewhere, rather than be a part of a forum who speaks unintelligently
> about alien abduction, or close encounters and UFO sightings.
>
> Besides, the whole reason behind the study of meteorites in the first
> place is to learn MORE about our universe, and this CERTAINLY includes
> the search for extraterrestrial life and in fact could center on it.
> Those who would argue that scientific and logical discussion about the
> possibilities of life elsewhere in our universe based on the connection
> between that life and meteorites is somehow "Not Worthy" and "Off-Topic"
> is somehow not entirely fair or correct.
>
> It doesn't have to be a discussion about little green men, it has to do
> with the study of meteorites and the real possibility of
> extraterrestrial life, and the direct connections with meteorites if any
> that exist.
>
> To deny that is simply akin to an ostrich sticking it's head in the sand.
