Quasar starships

	That redshift-blueshift asymettry explanation is appealing. If 
quasars were spaceships in our galaxy, though, wouldn't we have seen 
(after 20 years and ~ 2,000 quasar-years of viewing) some of these:

	brightness changes on the order of hours, days, or months

	long-term brightness changes due to changes of heading

	increases in red shift due to acceleration

	greater quasar incidence (adjusted for dust clouds) in the plane 
		of the galaxy and in the direction of its center?

(I put this as a question 'cause that's what it is; maybe with some 
numbers here we can shoot down/support your theory).
