I'd rather reserve that barb for the person that can't spell Stephan Hawking or even a simple word like "stupid".

His logic is sound.  Smart enough aliens to stumble upon voyager won't need a map to figure out about where it came from.  Now, an alien too stupid/inexperienced to stumble upon Voyager BUT NOT figure out where it came from... to then find a map onboard...  *tin hat - on*.


Cool news, I think it'll be until the next one breaks into the outer reaches (and they can cross-reference data/readings) that this will really start making some buzz.
