Also, if your people gave the Greeks the word Andromeda, why did they name a fairly minor character in their mythology after your people. You'd think if they encountered a clearly superior race they would at least name a major deity after it. Yet, they chose a woman who needs saving. That doesn't seem right. Also, Andromeda is the Latinized form of the Greek Andromédē. So, if your people gave the word to the Greeks, why is it not used in that form until the Romans come to power?

I think Ruler of men is a pretty lofty title frankly.
I am Anthra-Andromda of the Clan Kabuklm; the two year old
child of D'Arna-Shat and Neva-con, the current monarchs of
the Great Andromedan Empire. I am the Crown Prince of that
Empire, and the Prince-Priest of the premier Esoteric Order
in the Galaxy. (Rather grandiose don't ya think?)
Anyway, you are right, I'm not global…Before I started this fools errand, I told the Federation people…that I did not have the resources to reach out to all humans. I told them that if this is going to work that I did indeed need to reach almost everyone, and that I couldn't do that without the help of major media. They didn't seem to care, and told me to do what I could ... so I am.
You don't like hearing "protocol, protocol, protocol", and I hate having to brint it up…In my view, if one outside force interferes, then it should be "open season". I feel that if the Federation were to begin open contact, it would only benefit the people of Earth.
Technically, not "hearsay", it is a first hand account.
Based on the ways that advanced technology becomes public on your world, I think it is fairly safe to say that the "Black Ops" types have some of this in a fairly developed state. Also based on leaked reports of such technologies, I think we can begin to presume that some actual machines may exist.
Thank you for a wee bit of reason ... it is refreshing
Not sure I understand. He is purposely reporting something that is obviously false and he is presenting this falsehood as fact. That is a lie where I come from. If he is simply mistaken, he can admit that. I am certain he will not. Unshakable conviction can be wrapped around the truth or a lie. When it is something that is known to be false, it is a lie. Maybe I missed your point though as I am certain you are a smart cookie.

Why is that so hard to grasp?
What is so hard to grasp? You have clearly stated that you are not Andromedan. You have stated that is incorrect to call you. Now it is a generic name? This would be a contradiction. I am pointing it out.
as seen here
It is not an Achille' s heel. It is the name of our species; "Andromd".
I only point this out so that we can be differentiated fromAlex Collier's "Andromedans". Mr. Collier is wrong in calling those he mat be in contact with "Andromedans" since they are not from the Andromeda Galaxy, as we are.
You said that "Andromedans" are something different hat Collier was talking about and that is not you because you are an "Andromd."
Care to clarify?

I'm still wondering about the Greek connection. We know where Ancient Greek comes from and we have enough evidence to know that most languages descended from one Proto Indo-European language. The word Andromeda fits with the rest of the Greek language and is in fact a combination of already existent words. So, I'm confused how your people gave the word to the Greeks.

Fair enough, I suppose you couldnt give the exact coords to look for those whom do have telescopes...and actually, thinking about it, why isnt there tons of amature astronomers all discussing the odd objects above dallas?
how important is it for people to believe you? clearly there is a degree of importance...do you have a specific number of people you wish to believe, or just sort of see how many believe just for the hell of it...aka, is there a actual point to jumping through these hoops and whatnot?
Can you do "magic"? aka, anything of unique value that the average human cannot readily do...such as jump superhigh or anything that could be proven unique in its own right given you have, in your opinion anyhow, different DNA (A chimp is very similar to humans, but that difference gives it tremendous body strength...)

You are starting to sound more and more like a psudo-skeptic who will not accept anything that is counter to what he beleives. Show me the "obvious" falsehood.
Given that Terrestrial science is now publishing methods and techniques for effective FTL (and knowing that this is probably way behind the actual curve), I'd think that perhaps many ET's are only 100 - 200 years ahead. Even those from other galaxies are likely on 400 - 500 years advanced from earth. But, thats only my guess.
The Andromds have an active role in the current development of Earth and its people.

I'm sorry that you are confused, but, I don't have an answer for you. I wasn't there. Its part of a story that I was told a few years ago when I asked the same thing of my mother. Perhaps, if we had a time machine, we could go back to ancient Greece and find out. But, alas, we don't.

You also keep dodging the very good question that 3 people have asked about the word and its origin. Stop dodging, start answering.

I have answered that question, multiple times. You don't like the answer, either because it is beyond your understanding, or because, after all your talk, you don't want an answer. Well -- too bad. I've answered it, let us move on.
You have NO evidence that I have lied, so please drop that worn out BS.
By the way ... you're NOT psychic, not in the least.

That is too bad. It is an obvious lie to anyone that knows anything about the history of language. You obviously do not know how languages evolve, how they are studied, and what we have on paper that can be proven. You are going to have to do better than that. What you are claiming is so completely absurd and outrageous that you are going to have to ask mother to explain to you how she happened to pick a word that already existed here and can be traced back far past the Greeks. Get that? We can trace the word to a point farther back than the Greeks. Ask mommy about that and see if she can help you. Tell her you look like a big stupid liar because of this and you want her to help out.
Or....come up with something a little better than "Thats what I was told."
Try. You do want people to believe your little BS fairy tale right? Start making it make some damn sense then.

If you have not lied then why are you avoiding my other question? You told me that you are NOT ANDROMEDAN. You CORRECTED ME for using that term and told me that it was wrong. Then I pointed out where you used it first. Then you told me it is the name of your people, not your species. Clear that up. Why did you tell me you were NOT called Andromedans before you told me that you were. At this point, one of those is a lie.
