     No, because this person is a schizophrenic. Either that, or a troll who
has worked with schizophrenics and knows how they think. His penultimate
paragraph is a textbook example of a common schizophrenic delusion, 'thought
insertion' and 'thought deletion' by radio control.

     There's no point in arguing with him or trying to convince him of the
absurdity of his views. You're not arguing with a person capable of reason,
but with a faulty dopaminergic synapse. (Or with a troll impersonating a
person with faulty dopaminergic synapses, which is just as pointless.)

     These folks do show up on Usenet occasionally. Schizophrenia is common.
One percent of every population that has been studied suffers from it. It is
a tragic and disabling disease. This fellow deserves our sympathy, but
there's no point in arguing with him or getting angry with him.

the name dates back to a long time ago when different sections of america
had different codes (probably military sections only)
its also called dreamland and a section of it (nelis AFB)is "official"
basicly its a base that was supposed not to exist
yet they bought over a mountain called freedom ridge,which was the only
place you could see the center (groom lake) at night from
so people asked why they would buy over a place that dosent exist and not
let people within 26 miles of an area the size of switzerland
in ehhh......95 a guy called bob lazar claimed to have worked their and said
lots of interesting stories about the propulsion system the craft they use
their,with help from the "greys" might i add.
well nearby area 51 is a company called SAIC,they specialize in anti gravity
propulsion engine's (dont even go their!)bob lazar's story has alot of holes
eg: he also claimed to stanton friedman (a ufologist)that they use something
like the 118th elementh,this has got to be bullshit as elements that hight
up the periodic table are too unstable to last for more than a few
milliseconds.his wife left him and id say he is making alot of money from
his stories,this is a shame as some people think that because of one man
their musnt be any aliens after all.
the evidence shows a different story.

hope that helped you :)

Ah... some enlightenment finally.  I see.  I don't suppose we could get more
information on this person and send them off to Charter.  Too bad.  All this
technology and yet we still have crazy people about.

look at the list of newsgroups (I know, hardly anyone ever does) this
was crossposted in 4 completely unrelated newsgroups. 

How it connects is that the whole fictionalized story is so completely
disconnected from itself that it's lack of cohesive thought allows it
to be posted in any random newsgroup, since there is no logical
relationship to anything in the first place.

Exactly, another flaw in the whole story - they abandoned that
facility at least 2 years ago after they finally figured it's cover
was completely blown.  I believe the skunk works and all the other
black projects are in Colorado or New Mexico now.

And oh yeah.... black projects aren't all the big a deal.  I for one
am glad they exist - I can't imagine how some commercial and "real
world" technologies would become available if the government didn't
fund this sort of advanced, almost surreal research.  I can't see a
GM, or a GE, or a Microsoft funding the same kind of research, since
most of the projects probably get scrapped after a few years and a few
hundred million dollars.  Corporations can't afford such "frivolous"
research, they need ROI (return on Investment).

Actually Area 51 was used as an experimental air force base.  The F-117A was
first launched there without those stablizing fins in th back.  This resulted in
a crash near the base.  I really don't know what the heck your talking about in
the middle.  But as for the 118th element stuff and how those kinds of elements
are very unstable.  I do know something about that.  Physicists speculate that
their many be some elements about 105 that can be stable.  In a physics book
that I have, it shows a graph of stablity of the elements from 1 to 100.  I wish
I could scan that image but I don't have a scanner.  In any case, all of this is
theorical and thus can be regarded as bullsh*t till it's proven.  It's just my 2
cents.

BTW if what you say is true about the military base, explain why the U.S.
Military is very interested in buying up Freedom Ridge and the surrounding area
of the old airbase, Area 51.  And while your at it, if they say that the base is
truly abandon then why do they have all that "shoot first, ask question later"
policy enforced?  Just some simple questions for you to ponder.

Is there anything in Schizophrenia that affects cognitive abilities,
oh say like, I don't know?  Maybe SPELLING?

I've noticed that these nuts always have serious trouble with
spelling.  I mean, I'll admit sometimes swapping my I's and E's but my
god, "prity"?  Even my 5 year old nephew can spell pretty

I sugjest that yu git a dikshunaree and lern how two spell!!!  If yew
cannt afored wun, then at leest leev that caben in tha hollow yew liv
in, join civilizashun fore a wyl and mabbe yew will lern too spell
that way


I went to college in West Virginia, I didn't realize they had internet
access up in those hollows.

Administrivia:

Special notice: in a few days, the new group comp.lang.perl.moderated
should be formed. I would rather not support two different groups, and I
know of no other plans to create a digested moderated group. This leaves
me with two options: 1) keep on with this group 2) change to the
moderated one.

If you have opinions on this, send them to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. 


The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc.  For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:

	subscribe perl-users
or:
	unsubscribe perl-users

to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.  

To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.

To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.

To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.

The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.

The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.

For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
