Hello James,

Your (entire) post is more rational and impartial than most on
the subject.

I don't come to List discussions as a 'ufologist' because I'm
not one of those. The other day got a 'media request' asking for
opinions and also asking how I wanted to be billed - as an
expert of some sort?

Replied - "I'm an ex-army 'trouble-shooter' (technical and
systems 'fault-finder' in UK military terms) ... the tax people
have me down as a self-employed 'information analyst' or
'information consultant', can't remember which."

That was only necessary because in today's world we have to
address many subjects and I personally want to retain
impartiality and also to avoid being labeled (or 'smeared') as a
specialist or campaigner of _any_ sort.

Coincidentally sent this today - "questions on (say) taxation,
policing, law, judiciary and war generate a cloud of pompous but
spurious waffle and no hard facts" - and feel that applies
equally well to the establishment's treatment of Ufology's
researches.


Cheers

Ray
