Lines: 13 I read about the subject in Sir Fred Hoyles book "The Intelligent Universe". Although I am no expert in the subject (or maybe because of that), the book seemed fascinating. However I should read some critique of the theories presented in it to be able to form my own opinion on the matter. In any case I recommend reading that book. As for the DNA messages, I think the messages were sent via microwave or lazer or some form of signals duplicating DNA codes. And not by sending an actual virus (friendly earthlings would'nt do a thing like that, would they? I mean they have not confirmed that there is some one there to harrass yet :-; ) --Alaa ...!petsd!pedsgd!alaa
