Crush clarifies his murky perspective:
For purposes of this thread I presume the term  "alien" has taken on them
meaning "non-human sentient being originating on another planet" ever since
the following discourse between Blattid and Robert Borski's in Borski's
posting on 6/17:

Blattid wrote:
"The undines, as near as can be told, _are_ homo sapiens -- they are more
advanced cases of the process to which Baldanders has been subjecting
himself."

Borski responded:
Not sure I agree with this.

How's that?
