On 25 Jan 98, concerning _Speculations_, Jack Sargeant said to Charles
Daniels in UFO:
JS> Using known physics as a guide line, Returning the information found
JS> on earth to their home world, the aliens would be communicating to
JS> relatives far into their own future. Whoever sent them on their
JS> cosmic mission would have a wait of thousands of years for the
JS> results of said mission. ...It almost seems pointless.
For beings whose average lifespan is less than a century, it seems pointless.
For beings whose average lifespan is such that thousands of years is roughly
equivalent to a boring Sunday afternoon...
... "The memory of you sings in my blood." -Worf
