There is clearly quite a range of opinions and experience relating to 
"contacting entities" and the like. OK - I don't know everything - maybe there 
really are a host of benign beings out there only too eager to guide us all 
into the light. Thanks for your inputs, Roger, and Julie (and critters). Still, 
when dealing with phenomena for which only pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo 
"explanations" exist, I would tread warily. CS just seems a lot safer to me.
