We have returned from the Perseus arm and are once again back with you in
the Orion spur.

In our zest to learn more about you, we appear to have been a little rash.
Even a brief survey will uncover that many of the great posters who were
regularly uploading articles, both mainstream scientists and others, have
either slowed their rate of posting or have stopped posting altogether.
It was not our intent to bring on such a negative trend.
So we have decided to discontinue posting, at least for awhile.

If and when we post again to alt.astronomy, we shall try to maintain a low
profile and not draw too much attention to ourselves.
It has truly been an honor and privilege to communicate with you and to
learn from you.

Do remember the tips we gave you on anti-aging and the speed of light.
As one last hint - : if and when you attempt to take c to infinity, do so
slowly.
You will come to a crossroad.
Most researchers either miss the crossroad or disregard it and continue on,
only to end up nowhere.
Albert Einstein instinctively made the correct turn.
He took the road less traveled (indeed, the road never traveled before), and
it took him to a place of truth that he could not believe.
Before you discard your work as he did, be sure to get a second, perhaps
even a third opinion.

Let me close by clearing up some loose ends.

To Bert - : thank you for the email - quite fascinating.
Can you do that with moving film set at just the right time interval to see
the befores and afters as well?
If so, friend Bert, you may learn something new about light.

To Greysky - : I finally found time to finish reading your website.
Sorry it took me so long.
I found it rather astounding in some ways.
Keep after it, friend Greysky.

To Bill - : DHMO sounds strangely like H2O, doesn't it?
As with most everything, friend Bill, Nothing in excess, Everything in
moderation.
The wise among you make one exception to this, and one only.
You choose one thing to focus upon and to do in excess, hang any and all
moderation.
If you make the wrong choice, then it will destroy you.
If you make the right choice, it may carry you to the stars.

I hope your choice will be science, particularly astronomy!

Just like an ungrateful dear John letter posting alien space
bitch, just joking, who forgets to say good-bye to the humble guy
nightbat who reminded the visiting space crew of their space duties to
try to save one of their own, Sil. Oh, well, so much for intergalactic
protocol, just cut and run when the universal profound questions needing
answered are left to us Mavericks to answer. So what if some trolls want
in on the first alien contact, what else is new? Here I thought the
astute Pros was the holdback and it turns out the aliens decide to take
a hike and only respond to sci fi hype and Greysky thoughts of c. Tesla
had that argument with Einstein eons ago, get a clue. There are no fixed
frames of reference in space, so why not make one, like the speed of
light, big deal. And oc poured his heart out for mutual knowledge
exchange and got back H20, ok. Well at least Bert got Darla interested
in his home photos, let's just hope his earthly wife doesn't find out
about his darkroom internet space alien romance. And then what about the
other intelligent posters who took a chance and responded, what about
them, just chop meat?

Yes, humble nightbat, who only asked for decoder rings not telescopes,
to provide for the safety of our cosmic visitors, and sip, nada, we'll
be back. Heck, the least that Darla could have done was send us a pic of
herself so oc wouldn't think it was a total waste of time.

Well, go in peace our cosmic travelers, be careful if and when you
decide to make actual physical contact, and send us a post card from the
Perseus arm, if you can somehow remember humble nightbat.
