Strange thing happened yesterday. I went out to = eat with my mother and father. While this may not sound to strange, you = should understand neither has spoken in 15 years and neither seemed to = have any desire. They are now retirement age and my dad returned home = last year, after doing aircraft contract work the last 10 years. My = mother returned from the Philippines last year as well. Their dislike = for each other had me organizing two Thanksgiving dinners and two = Christmas dinners. Yet, yesterday they sat across the table beside each = other, neither fighting for the empty seat besides me. Sometimes it = takes a few days for someone to calm down, sometimes it takes 15 years I = guess. I get a mass of meteorite e-mails from "newbies" and I try to answer = them the best I can. From time to time I get referenced from someone I = consider well-know ledged and from at other times I get contacted by = various organizations. Google seems to like my website and I sure that = helps attract these e-mails as well. There are many list members that = know a lot more then me, several have nicer collections then me and as a = hunter, I have to be somewhere in the bottom tier. It is hard for me to = consider myself an "expert" in a field I feel mostly overshadowed by my = peers. So I am humbled by the responses I have gotten via e-mail from = list members about our latest "tiff". I am humbled my thoughts have any = emotional effects on others. So, I am back, and I will try not to let "repeat" this last week. Not = so much in self-censorship but more so in sending e-mails to the list. I = understand now greater Mike Farmer's list "fights". He is emotionally = attached to meteorites, and his e-mails come from this emotion Perhaps I = am more emotionally attached to these rocks then I realized. And while I = never considered myself that great of a contributor to the list, it is = quite clear from your e-mails (and phone calls) that many of you do.=20 I ask that you forgive me for not keeping my typically cool head, and = perhaps for making a small situation worse. I will try not to feed the = ducks from now on, or let others make me a duck.
