[CoLoCo] (Off-Topic) Proof of Alien Life to be shown in Denver Fri day.

[TJ Heaney]

I feel the same as Manfred.

I've been getting a kick out of the conversation (though it doesn't really
appeal to me). It's just another way for us to expand and strengthen our
Community.

As far as I am concerned, this sort of conversation is healthy. It allows us
to learn more about each other as a team.
