Sorry about that.

My suggestion, A big <DIV></DIV>>>Norton book burning, the books are wrong and if you quote them, you <DIV></DIV>>>will get nasty emails too!" <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Tom, I don't understand your post. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>First you quote some harsh (and almost certainly false) criticisms <DIV></DIV>>about Richard Norton's work, and then go on to say you don't agree <DIV></DIV>>with them, and are going to keep Richard's books after all. Do you <DIV></DIV>>realize that your comments go into the Meteorite List archives <DIV></DIV>>permanently, where anyone can read them? What is your purpose in <DIV></DIV>>posting this material? I doubt it's news to anyone that there is <DIV></DIV>>occasionally an incorrect or apocryphal piece of information even in <DIV></DIV>>the best-researched book, and that widely-accepted facts can <DIV></DIV>>sometimes later be shown to be inaccurate (look at the debate <DIV></DIV>>regarding the authenticity of the "Nakhla dog." <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Richard and Dorothy Norton are among the most well-liked and <DIV></DIV>>respected people in the meteorite field, so why would you want to <DIV></DIV>>post comments like these -- whether you said them or not? Many <DIV></DIV>>collectors became part of the meteorite collecting world <DIV></DIV>>specifically because of the Nortons' book "Rocks from Space"; In <DIV></DIV>>addition, Richard's articles are widely and regularly published; <DIV></DIV>>Dorothy and Richard are both Harvey Award winners; and many List <DIV></DIV>>members (including myself) regard them as friends. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>I don't understand why you would send a post to the M-List with <DIV></DIV>>"Norton book burning" in the title.
