[meteorite-list] Image access problems (was, "Re: The Incredible Shrinking Meteorite")

Recently, Gregory and I, each, have made a post to
this List in which we supplied a URL to an image on a
"tripod.com" server. Many of you may have experienced
difficulty in accessing that image, particularly if
you are on the Condensed Digest - Archive version of
the List, and you read your posts on a browser.

What Gregory and I forgot was that "tripod.com"
doesn't allow this form of "Remote Access". In fact,
they can get downright nasty about it. Should you
encounter this problem again, all you need to do (if
you want to view the image) is to "copy" the supplied
URL in the post, and "paste" it into the "Location" or
"Address" box of your browser. The "Back" button
should return you to the original message.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

For your convenience, here are the URLs again:

Meteorite"


Well, maybe I should have entitled it "The Incredible
Exploding Meteorite".

Recently I was quietly reading riveting meteorite-list
posts into the wee hours of the night, when I heard a
"clunk" from the general vicinity of my bookcase.
Looking around I saw what USED to be a softball-sized
Nantan, which was now a essentially a pile of rubble.
I live near the Pacific and Nantan is the Queen of the
rust-buckets as we all know, so maybe even more
careful curation than I afforded it might not have
prevented the inevitable. It appears to have
destroyed itself from the inside out, the center was
practically just rusty powder, the outside was the
only thing holding
it together. Those who like pro wrestling, auto
races, or Lethal Weapon movies might "enjoy" the
photo. ;-) Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, I
guess.
