From: Don.Provan@CMU-CS-A While I agree with most of the arguments supporting the silliness of a V-like visit to Earth, one argument needs to be stepped on. The disadvantage of fighting the locals would be negligible for a race crossing between stars. A couple of you seem to havegotten caught believing a man on horseback would live 20 seconds while being chased by an armed attack craft. No advanced race could possibly have such dismal weapons. Nor would they manage n invasion so pitifully. Diana really must be in charge for political reasons.

From: Daniel Dern <ddern@bbncch.ARPA> Obviously -- they can't get on any TV shows where they come from, since the quality of scripts there is equally advanced. Daniel Dern ddern@bbn.arpa

If aliens come to earth to rip off anything, it's going to be the library
of congress, the national archives, and the contents of the smithsonian
(plus like stuff in other countries) not water or people.
