The footnote in particular, caused a resonance within me. I’m glad you included it.

Cool, red dwarfs, especially relatively near by, are extremely good candidates for SETI searches. Mostly ignored due to a gap in observational technology, only rectified relatively recently, this type of star system is poised to become real headline makers in the years to come.

My youngest and I were listening to music tonight… He’s a self-proclaimed “atheist” although I think 20 years of living with me has softened him a bit in any sort of militancy.

The latter is correct. When I click the link in my timeline, some of the formatting is lost.

I actually experienced this with my FIRST attempt at making the group as well. I wondered if I had accidentally missed the opportunity to correct it so I deleted the group and gave it another go. To be clear, both attempts ended with the \” 1\” appendage.
