For some time now I have taken an interest in the contributions to
this group. And I have found, to my surprise, that contributors have
in general demonstrated not only, an excellent grasp of the English
language, faultless intellectual rigour, sound logic, impressive use
of well focused argument, an impressive ability to select and
manufacture only supporting facts, but also above all a total
miss-interpretation and disregard of and for both internal and
external reality verging on the acute psychotic. Not at all
surprising, you may think, considering the type of personality
attracted to uk.local groups under the present UK Usenet Committee
set-up.
 
However, it is too easy and unwise to be dismissive. This total
disregard of and for both internal and external reality gave me the
incentive to develop an interesting line of inquiry which resulted in
the formulation of a number of carefuly thought out hypotheses. I have
listed the central issue of each hypotheses below.

1). Alien life forms are using this news group to contact suitable
members of the "human race".
2). That the vast majority of participants live in another universe
and are well out of touch with the reallity of this one.
3). That the remainder fall into 4 groups, 
[a] net-nannies, 
[b] nutters, 
[c] pranksters, 
and 
[d] mental health researchers trying to measure the extent to which
the Care in the Community Programme has failed and assess the failure
of the early detection of mental instability programme.
 
It has always seemd to me that not all of the postings to this news
group are what they purport to be. Indeed, it may be that only a very
very few are straight forward postings. In my opinion the rest are
most likely to be cunningly devised personality and IQ tests. It would
appear that the personality tests are designed to test for and filter
in this that and the next targeted ?human trait. There is some
discussion going on as to whether the IQ tests are designed to filter
in or out low scores. Never the less, it seems that a certain well
defined personality type is being sought after by as yet unknown
individual(s) or organisation(s). There is as yet insufficient
evidence upon which to base a clear identity.  

We need more evidence and this is where an individual such as yourself
can make a valuable contribution to the development of the human race.

Rather than contribute to a thread, which under normal circumstances
would be the most appropriate response, there is strong evidence to
suggest that the response awaited is for interested individuals to
contact the original poster of certain articles direct using e-mail.
Not to contribute to any group at all would, it seems to me, indicate
suitability for further contact. Those using this means of
communication would be regarded as having passed the test. Further
contact would then probably take place. Therefor, I would suggest that
you DO NOT EVER contribute to the thread, NOR for that matter to any
other news group, but e-mail the original poster. No further e-mails
should be sent by you until contact takes place. Under no
circumstances should e-mail be sent to our address. The next step is
to wait. The most important thing to do is to wait, do not post to
this or any other news group nor send e-mail messages to anyone.

Good luck.
