       In general people are afraid of the idea of xts coming around, and have   
   written many stories about them being our enemies. If they do come around and   
   want to openly deal with humans at some point in the future, when we're ready,   
   they might very well be doing things to get us used to the possibiliity of   
   their   
   existence without being too scary about it. Crop patterns would be one good   
   way.   
   There are possibly others as well, but if you can't get this far with it   
   there's   
   no point trying to "discuss" any others with you.
