Thanks to everyone who sent me information on the above subject, I appreciate it. Please allow me to explain : I am interested in, well, strange ideas, eg creationism has long been a hobby of mine, as well as stuff like ESP, the Face on Mars and similar stuff. I try to keep an open mind however, so far all of these subjects have amused rather than converted me. Please note : I am not *looking* for something, not trying to become a convert, it is simply that strange ideas fascinate me because I find the mental processes of the supporters interesting. I have recently become interested in the Atlantis legends, but it has been almost laughably easy to disprove most of these claims - with the exception of Bailey, and that probably only because I have not yet been able to locate his book. I have been told that Bailey's book is better argued than most, contains more verifiable information and so on - you know, the usual claims made by supporters of kooks like these - and that is why I have turned to this list for information. Any other information will be welcome. Thanks and regards Leon Retief Bellville South Africa %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
