Yes, that was sarcasm.

That's who I was thinking of, Emilia Pisani.
Anyhow, to get this thread back on topic, at least somewhat:
Considering what happened at the end of PoD, the reverberations will be felt for a long time, and as a direct result I think that the information from Project V should be reviewed by the Federation Council and then declassified sections should be doled out to scientists to make of it what they will. The Typhon Pact has it and according to the Federation, they are primarily the wrong hands, so there's no need to keep that particular genie bottled up.
The resulting scientific advancements should go a long way to help rebuilding after the Borg invasion. Terraforming could be done through biological rather than technological means which would likely be significantly faster and more diseases could be cured (though it is possible more will arise, and that itself makes for good storytelling - Starfleet Medical Corps eBook series anyone?).
Whatever might happen in the long run, it is better to explore the potential for that information than burying one's head in the sand which is what the Federation has been doing for better or worse over the last century due to animosity toward its neighbors. If I were Bacco, I would create an oversight committee for Project V and have the whole thing out in the open. Nothing works better than transparency. And if Federation scientists create something for the Andorians before the TP, who knows what then might happen.
Time to move forward I think.
Indeed. Not sure why I replied to Sci, looking back on it it really is silly and you did sum that up pretty well.

I take your point, although I wrote that last night after being up for some 15 hours at that point so it was hardly the morning in these parts.
Essentially he means something trek related has come out that he doesn't like and while he is under no obligation to buy said trek related product it's very existence offends him on every level and rather then ignore it he is seized by a pasionate desire to denounce it at every oppurtunity on the site even when in a thread that has nothing to do with it aka the samething going on with those displeased about Trek XI but want to be annoying about it.
Not according to some folks who post on the Original Series board. Or to The God Thing (is he still around?). Or to James Dixon.
As is often the case, it's the extremist minority that defines the stereotype. They make a disproportionate amount of noise and thus casual observers mistakenly think they're the majority.
I think The God Thing got the boot.

Sorry. That was rather dick of me. I just hear "You Americans" followed by criticism over shit we (as individual taxpayers) have no real control or influence and had Neutral Zone flashbacks. Normally I dig your posts, Dimesdan, but just not that one.
Understand fully the posting after being up all night and have myself reacted to others in a manner that I don't generally behave. Have a good one.
