Yes, I made the same statement myself in my second post.

<<<HKR I guess you are real proud to be the representative.>>>

Not especially - I inherited the job by virtue of being the first Hong Konger to join MUFON and because I have a lot of impressive academic credentials (of which I am 'real proud'). The first time I got involved in anything here in HK I made the mistake of letting my name get out (I trusted a Post reporter to keep his promise not to 'shop' me). It caused a lot of trouble, because of the sorts of attitudes the subject always generates in people who don't know anything about it and blindly accept the popular press view that all Ufologists are crackpots.

Of course, everyone here in this forum is a professional, technically skilled person and certainly wouldn't react in that knee jerk way to such a controversial subject, now would they?
