I'm sure Da Vinci is really tore up about it too.

Warum stellst du diese unwichtige Nachtricht hier? Glaubst du eigentlich,
den Scheisse aus Hubbard? Ich hoffe nicht. Diesen Newsgruppen sind fuer
Geschichte und Kultur, nicht Phantasie.

Excuse me but I thought that one of the most important ingredient of any
cultural expression was fantasy...and I wish it was also for history...
Maybe I am wrong...

I agree. That original post was usless bandwith that had nothing to do
with the living history newsgroups. (And what was the point of all of
that hubbard fantasies?) I don't think that it mentioned about hubbard's
belief that we are all descended from space aliens, and that if we spend
enough money in the scientology church, than we can get in contact with
our inner space alien being.

Hubbard didn't actually BELIEVE in Scientology. There was a famous
conversation held in a science fiction convention (I believe it was a
WorldCon) suite back in the 70's (I think) in which L.Ron Hubbard told
John Campbell and Asimov that the best way to make money was to creat a
religion, and so Scientology was born. Numerous people claim to have
been there when the conversation took place, but if everybody who says
they were there, was there the room would have had a few thousand people
in it.

My memory is that Dianetics began (as far as I was seeing it in ASF)
mainly as a kind of psychotherapy. In time, however, there was
trouble about practicing medicine without a license, so it turned into
a religion, where you don't need a license.
