This guy writes like the dummy from Deming-- the guy with "mountains of meteorites." (He threatened to sue me if I did not "agree with him that what he had are meteorites." There are some people with mentalities denser than iron. They will not deviate from their erronious notions even when the facts are clearly against them. Such seems to be the case with this fellow.
