- Due to lack of free time, I am no longer up keeping the faq, it has grown
- vary large and requires more time than I have to up keep it. If you are
- intrested in maintaining this faq, write me. To those who want to have
- information added or updated in the FAQ, please don't send it to me. I
- won't be adding it. Please accept my appologies about this.
- I still may post the faq every so often when I have the time to do so;
- however it won't have any new information it it. I don't have much time
- to read a.a.v. these days, I do manage to get on every one in a while, so
- if you post a request for the faq there, I may miss reading it.
-
- Hello and welcome to the alt.alien.visitors Frequently Asked Questions
- posting. You may notice that this FAQ does not follow the standard question
- asked, question answered format. The reason for this is that this FAQ is
- designed to answer questions of people who are new to this Usenet discussion
- group, and designed to be a useful reference source to those interested in
- UFOlogy. I tried to keep a neutral stance when I researched the many of the
- subjects covered in this FAQ; however you may also notice that some of the
- material seem to be one-sided. When doing some of the research I may have
- only used one book or source, thus (as you may have noticed) some authors
- present information from only one point of view and this has a tendency to
- be carried over to this FAQ, do to the lack of information on the subject
- from another point of view. (deep huh?)
-
- Also please when reading information from this FAQ (as one poster put it)
- take everything you read here with a very large grain of salt. (rock salt)
- Even I don't believe all the information that I have included in this FAQ.
- As I said its mainly a reference to help you out. If you find yourself
- interested in a UFO related subject, **DO RESEARCH** read books on the
- subject, dig into both sides, write letters to the authors and researchers.
-
- I would once again like to thank everyone who contributed to the FAQ,
- I would like to especially thank Steve Gamble and Jeff Papineau for the work
- they put into the UFO Organizations section.
