I'm extremely disappointed that you didn't send that 
response on list.
If you had, I'd have been able to say.

"I vote that we relegate discussions of Nemesis to [OT]. 
What's the value of raving on about some theoretical star 
that some people dream up as an anchor to some wild theories 
about reasons for dinosaur extinctions ??? Where's the 
science in that. How can you measure a start that you can't 
see? Or see a star that you can't measure? And who's ever 
seen a live real dinosaur for that matter? Or a live extinct 
one either, come to think of it? And as for Brown Dwarfs and 
Red Dwarfs - clearly SciFi is OT.

All this galactic cycle postulates stuff, with periods out 
by as much as 40% from the observed extinction frequencies 
seems highly suspect. Sounds like all the postulated 
observations that are meant to do all sorts of things in 
other suspect areas that shouldn't be talked about. Next 
thing we know you'll be on about triple helix DNA, and fire 
breathing Dragons and going between, and who knows what 
else.

Why can't you keep discussions to the common easy boring 
stuff that we all understand and leave the controversial 
interesting stuff to the REAL experts????"

But, as you didn't, I can't. I think
