Hola Bernd,

Thanks, Bernd. I reflected on your thoughts and needed them. I thought up epithets for a couple dozen list members, but then I reminded myself of what you said (and perhaps that I might crave a meteorite from them sometime?), and confidently erased them.

Even though Adam's really and truly was the most entertaining epithet I came up with of all of the list members, it didn't matter at all Mike, I thought, and I couldn't help pitying each and every one of us squandering or otherwise our ephemeral existence in the present form as I look at some petrified hemitized Cretaceous animal fragments scattered on the floor, and hoped I could grow up and be one of those someday in a nicely curated institutional collection in the far future. 'Nuff Said!'
Saludos, Doug

Please, stop that silly talk about BCC (blind carbon copy ?)
and sales ratios, .... what should, what will it lead to? More
animosities, more hate, more hate mails, ... less fun, less
potential new collectors (because they will be p... off) by
such a lot of childish pseudo-argumentation.

For heaven's sake, when I came to school this morning, I had
to cope with the sad news that one of my teacher collegues is
gone for good ... 61 years only. We talked about retiring a few
weeks ago. He was so happy he would retire in about two years
(me in about 3 or four years) and then be able to enjoy the few
days he would still be allowed to be around.

I have bought great meteorites from both parties, there have been
great deals and bargains, both parties involved in this vain struggle
have become gargantuan meteorite sellers with great items, with a
dedicated love for meteorites, ... and they are sellers!

Think about it and enjoy what life still has to give
you because we should know (and remember) our days
are counted ... whether we like it or not ...

Bernd
