What obstacles, Bob? You show me true obstacles, not just bullshit, and I'll
show you how they might be overcome.

Rick Santorum is a Livecode programmer?? heh heh. But seriously, try actually
coming up with some suggestions at least about how to overcome the obstacles.
Otherwise, I declare your cry of "bullshit" to be the true "bullshit" that all

Sigh . . . if only a mere 10% of this discussion could have been relevant to
the technical merits of my SETIproblem stack. I feel like my thread has been
hijacked!

Good point Richard. I guess in my mind any species would be faced with the same
kind of problems, but it gets the point across better if I put humans in the
