Matteo,

Please do not judge all people by your standards. Let the scientists do
their jobs. Since when have Winonaite inclusions been found in Campos?
Since when has the Campo bandwidth doubled? Please do not cheapen this
meteorite with unfounded comments and I will continue to provide data as it
becomes available.
