Only so much as they are of unknown origin and that there were strange parallels, such as my family being the same, and knowing you in an academic setting. I am not bothered by them, in the classic sense or by definition of the word. I find them a matter of scientific curiosity and believe that open communication about the anomaly might provide clues to it's origins and how it is reacting in certain social circles.
Have you found them off-putting? I have yet to get past the point of a distress call and departing to answer it.
