Hi El & all,
       I do not have any idea where you came up with your statement,
"I remind the list that "UFO" machinations are one of the specific
topics forbidden here." (cited in full context below), but I am afraid
you are badly misinformed as to the actual list policies. Following are
the list policies:
General List Policies

1. Posts need to relate -in some way- to meteorites
2. Be courteous and professional at all times
3. Do not post -private messages- or -personal attacks- to the list
4. Please include the 'subject' of the post in the subject box
5. Send emails in text format, not -HTML-
6. Do not send emails with -file attachments- to the list - include a
file link
7. Make sure you can back up statements with -facts and references-
8. Do not post -major advertisement- emails to the list - include a
'sale' link
9. If you are posting a URL for a sale, include 'SALE' in the subject box

        The above list is directly taken from Meteorite Central. Any other
"List Policies" exist only in the heads of people who have no say in actual
list policies.
       Sincerely, Michael Blood

There are many legitimate reasons for not addressing such off topics, and we
legitimately close to door to UFO here unless it is quoted in a report
adjunct to an identification of a fireball , or if "UFO" is used in original
meaning not associated with spacemen/ saucers etc. I remind the list that
"UFO" machinations are one of the specific topics forbidden here. There
are ample lists elsewhere to debate the unprovable.
