   there , there dear ole  Lumpy  (  or Mr Smith is it ? ) .... do you   
   feel better now that you have vented " all that " ?    I hope so.   
      
   nothing that happens  in your computer  world is worth taking very   
   serious, especially  to the point that you feel upset about it.  life   
   is too short  and " people " ( not necessarily you ,  guy )  too odd   
   to allow things to come to " that " in your life.   
      
   just file this information in your information banks and go on with   
   things  ....... none of any of this stuff worth much in the scheme of   
   things in " real life ".   go hug your wife , sit in a nice lawn chair   
   and  sip some lemonade and think of  pleasant things in your life.   
      
   tomorrow I'll go bass fishing and probably forget all about anything   
   to do with Tehcahapi  , you could do the same as well.   over all   
   it was a fun and stimulating experience and tomorrow I'll go on with   
   other things in my life.   
      
   nothing I have done about Tehachapi  would I consider research,   
   it's just an unimportant personal visit and experience , quite   
   unremarkable  in the scheme of things in the world.  surely the fact   
   that  a  mega super secret Tehachapi base with maglevs , flying power   
   balls and endless acres of clandestine activity  doesn't exist , is no   
   great surprise to most people .   I even have to laugh a bit myself,   
   it's all just part of the  interesting experience.   
      
   Stephen Smith is someone pretty much unknown to me .  I only know him   
   through his writing and presentation  at  his Tehachapi web site.  I'm   
   sure he is a fine person and in my opinion a talented writer. he   
   demonstrates the exceptional power to make people dream and   
   think of alternative possibilities.  he certainly was able to excite   
   my thoughts and drove me to explore more of my world.  people like him   
   contribute  quite a lot to their world and the world of others around   
   them , cheers to him for his  remarkable talent.  ultimately it isn't   
   a matter of fact or fiction  , much like the stories of the X files.   
   reality is always different things to different people anyway ,   more   
   important is the ability to excite and stimulate thought and discourse   
   of man in  humanity ,  something that Steven Smith has accomplished   
   with expert ability (  for me , anyway ) . it was great fun .   
      
   take care Lumpy, and could you please send me a family  lizard picture   
   for my scrap book, I'd like that !   thanks guy.
