- Before you think that in my item to Info-Vax, in which I said
- 'The Man From Mars, "Michael Smith"' I wanted you to know
- (in case you don't) what it meant. There was a famous book
- released in the 1960s called "Stranger in a Strange Land"
- where the main character is a human being brought back from
- Mars, and his name was V. Michael Smith, or "Mike Smith,
- The Man From Mars." It's just sort of a reference I've
- used to anyone named "Mike Smith." It's not meant to be
- offensive at all, nor does it mean that your comments are
- somewhere out of this world.
