	In classic 1950's science fiction, the basic motives for
	being contacted (or attacked) by aliens are, according to
Solomon
	Golumb:

	* Help!
	* Buy!
	* Convert!
	* Vacate!
	* Negotiate!
	* Work!
	* Discuss!

	Sir Arthur C. Clarke notes that the nasty little short story by
Damon
	Knight adds an eighth motive: Serve! (fried or roasted)
