Welcome to ExI Peter!

Since the UFO discussion wasn't going far, I decided to let it
burn out by itself.  A poster suggested we read six books on
the topic, then we would believe.  I know the ExI chat regulars
well enough to be confident that if a flying saucer landed in
their back yard, little green men got out and handed over six
books on UFOs, got back in and flew away, even then they wouldn't
invest the time in reading those six books.  They may cut back
forthwith on the recreational pharmaceuticals, and puzzle for
the rest of their lives over where those six books came from,
but they wouldn't invest the time to read them.  I wouldn't.
