Wow, what a long thread in a short period of time.
I personally look more at the recent posts column than the individual forums, so the fact that it was or wasn't in the tech column was lost on me. (Did I just dangle a participle, no me is not a participle and but it was dangled. Did I just answer my own question, this is all so confusing. Amazing how the mind wanders during the coarse of lunch.)
Anyway, there is a tech side. I find it fascinating and learn a lot from it. Some I know, some I would like to know but don't know the right questions to ask. Much has been appreciated. All is very relevant.
Chris, sometimes we go off on irreverent and irrelevant topics, such as spelling. It's all in good fun.
Actually both are correct - as "having been taken over by aliens" is past tense where "to be taken over by aliens" could be ongoing.
