"One reason for rebooting the series now not related to CGI and Hi Def TV is forty years of scientific progress. We know a lot of things now that Sagan didn't know."

""We", Wacko? The implicit inclusion of yourself in that statement duly noted. In fact, Wackers, Carl Sagan knew a hell of a lot more than you will ever know"

Jack's statement neither demeaned Sagan nor constituted a personal brag; the use of "we" was just a normal part of the simple fact he was noting.

"You are NOT entitled to your opinion" The thread title was just a key line from the article Jack linked. The article was interesting, nothing inflammatory. Your reply: "What in Christ's name are you on about now, Wackers?" indicated, or at least appeared to indicate, that
you had spouted off without paying the least attention to what he was or wasn't "on about".
