A lot of us have been following what Lauren has been telling us about the
Stargate work.  If you're like me, you've been watching, pondering what's
going on, and wishing there were some way to help a little--you know, lend
a hand here or there without getting up to your ears in it 'cause you're
already overcommitted.

After reading the tripe that Frank Adrian posted about Stargate, it's clear
to me what we need to do.  If he wants to hear what we think about his
attempt to abort an experiment before it even gets going, let's let him
hear.  If you would like to see Stargate given a chance, e-mail to Adrian
and let him know that you're not about to start leaving dog turds in
anyone's desk to stop Stargate, nor are you about to start harrassing
people and skirting the law.

If you're a member of the ACLU, you might choose to take up with Mr. Adrian
the matter that it is NOT a tenet of that organization to do whatever it
can to prevent a citizen from exercizing his rights.  Nor is the ACLU big
on organized harrassment of individuals (regardless of whether the
harrassment is from inside or outside of the government).

Lauren's posting is (504@vortex.uucp) and is referenced by this article.
The text of Frank Adrian's article is included in it.  Adrian's email
address is hercules!franka, according to the path in the header.

At this point, I wouldn't blame Lauren if he dropped the whole thing--but I
still hope very much that he doesn't.  Dammit, people are trying to shoot
this thing down before it's even been tried.  We don't have any idea
whether it will work in practice or what unexpected benefits or problems it
will turn up.  And here's this Adrian clod who's willing to spit on a guy
and hide turds in his desk to prevent him from even TRYING the idea.
Sounds like rampant paranoia, or else something he needs to hide.
