FAQs Relax
For whatever it's worth, I really don't mind if we're a bit loose about being on topic here. If it helps take some of the strain off the main
thread, I'll be thrilled!
And for anyone who feels we're being overly draconian in the main thread, I understand and can assure you we really don't want to be. It's
basically a choice between being firm or losing the thread to human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
But this is a big deal. Even factoring out the "star power" aspect, we have a very important situation here:
multiple eyewitnesses to
multiple strange phenomena willing to discuss their
firsthand experiences with us right here on ATS, and the "lead witness", so to
speak, has -- at risk of serious personal repercussions -- verified his true identity and put his name to the story.
If we, the members of ATS, fail to take advantage of this opportunity to compile as much detailed and factual information about these events as
possible, it would be a shame.
Fame or no fame, this is a story that deserves the best coverage we can give it.

P.S. I won't be able to put as much time into the FAQ today as yesterday, but am hoping to keep adding to it and clean it up somewhat over the next
few days. In the meantime, I hope what's there is helping some of us out, and am grateful for the suggestions and contributions I've received so
far. Thanks!
