    Hi Heiko,
 HD> Yes indeed, but that is not skepticism but belief. Skepticism is
 HD> something  different. Just read what i wrote to Jack. 
    Yes, I read what you wrote, we are into the interpretation of words.
Skepticism is the opposite of to believe.  As in "I believe I will win  the 
lottery",  and  my  friend  say  "no,I  don't think  so".  So  he is  a bit 
skeptical, but so is  everyone in  many areas  of life.   Seems people  are 
trying to make some sort of implication that this is a belief  topic (UFO), 
as in a religous context, for some people perhaps, but not for everyone.
I prefer to think that people have opposing viewpoints.  I  do not  see the 
neccessity of everyone pulling out dictionaries and try to define exactly
what they are. As in we are believers you are skeptics.  I still do not see 
the point.  I think it is enough to  just say  we have  opposing viewpoints 
here.  Unless of course there is such a thing as professional skeptics.....
Happy Trails,
Fred.
