	Oh god, where do I start?  First of all, in my opinion, your posting
was 6-1/2 Kbytes of crap.  Seeing as how you choose to send it to about 8
newsgroups, you have used up 50 Kbytes of disk space on MY system, not to
mention all the disk space and phone time wasted all over the net.  Who do
you think pays for that?  If you were at my site, I would revoke your net
privileges for abusing the >>privilege<< of using a machine purchased for a
specific purpose to communicate your personal views.

	I won't be in Dallas, but if you disrupt the meeting there over this,
I hope you get ejected.  People (and their employers) pay good money to go to
these meetings.  If you have an opinion to voice, I am sure you will get the
chance to voice it without having to resort to disruptive practices.

	I don't have anything to do with the STARGATE experiment, but I
>>do<< think it is a good idea.  Does that make me a candidate to be spat
upon?  If you do so, you can be sure I'll do more than just spit back!
