 [STUFF deleted]

I have done some quick checks with a crude interrupt tracer to
determine what happens with REMs and labels. I have the following
modifications:

  1.  Open file
  2.  Read line
  3.  Note number of -chars- read thus far
  4.  Parse line (for redirection, etc)
  5.  If line is a label, note position and do step 2
  6.  If line is a forward GOTO, keep reading until label found, then do step 2
  7.  If line is a backward GOTO...? (I haven't tested this yet)
  8.  Close file
  9.  Execute command
 10.  Open file
 11.  Read to number of chars recorded in 3  [I think Nick meant 3 here, not 4]
 12.  Read to next EOL or EOF
 13.  If command is null and EOF goto 15.
 14.  Loop to 3.
 15.  Close file

This confirms what simple ECHO ON observation says: REMs get executed and labels
don't. At UniSA we have for years been skipping rather long documentation
sections in our LAN batch files with a GOTO, because the batch processor
*doesn't* close and open the file to read every line regardless. This also
supports the very old trick of using ": " to begin a comment rather than
a REM. The space after the ":" ensures that there are no confusions between
real label names and comments.

Since I have been researching UFOs and related subjects I have frequently
had related dreams. Rather than a sign of abductions, I think it is a sign 
of exposure to the material. I wouldn't worry about it. 

Of course I have a scoop-mark scar on my lower leg that appeared out
of nowhere several years ago, a history of sleep disturbances, and my 2 
year old little girl kept waking up with nose bleeds a few months ago and 
refused to sleep alone for a few weeks (just recently). I also remember 
a "dream" from my childhood where strange short robed figures would take me 
out of my bed and float me into someplace I can't remember, then bring me 
back and leave me standing in the hallway, *wide awake*, screaming ;^)

Seriously - If you are familiar with the abduction material and you
think hard enough, you can find plenty of indications that you might 
have been abducted. I can think of a plenty for myself, but I don't
really think it has ever happened. Lots of people have scars that they
don't remember getting. Lots of 2-year-olds get nosebleeds and like to 
sleep on their Mom's lap and lots of people have weird dreams.

How do we KNOW that there is an *underground* base there?  We don't, unless 
you know something that we don't.  Area 51 exists, but even we don't know the 
extent of what that implies.

The idea of disinformation is to disinform and send researchers off into the 
"wild blue yonder" looking for something that is not there.  With this in 
mind, we must concentrate on what it is that we are originally looking for: 
proof that saucers exist and if so, what are they and where are they from. 
This must be done using scientific methodology rather than a bunch of 
speculation passed off as fact.

I totally disagree with this statement.  Can you prove these statements about

That's poor for proof. We are tended to see human faces in different
formations; its in our psychologic construction. The first figure that a new
born baby recognize is human face. If we adults see a figure that's not
familiar, we start instictively look for human face in it - and in most
cases we find it.

        |  My atheism, like that of Spinoza, is true piety towards the  |
        |  universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own  |
        |  image to be servants of their human interests.               |
