The correct designation is Society for Planetary SETI Research; I wrote the
above in haste and obviously didn't get it right. I'm interested, though, in
where the "crackpot" bit comes in. I posted about some known anomalies that,
hopefully, will be reimaged shortly by a NASA spacecraft. Nothing crazy
about that. Even Carl Sagan urged additional study into this.
Who's the crackpot here? And how does a mis-typing help you spot one...?
