Sorry, for what it's worth, if you felt my disagreement and expression of it regarding your thought process in the recent public dispute with David was inappropiate. I think you are also hyperbolically wrong in the above comment. Mark, I recently even publically posted "Whoever has the meteorites makes the rules." So let me repeat the take-off on the Golden Rule: "WHOEVER HAS THE METEORITES MAKES THE RULES" That I would challenge an owner or be happy to see a space rock them to donate more to science or education is nothing to loose sleep over, and that I support official channels when it comes to meteorite authenticity and truth in labeling, over chaos, are my idiosyncracies. We already discussed this at length in private. So I feel it is yesterday's newspaper and I'd like to ask for your approval to move on rather than change the focus of the thread from respect and interpretation of MetSoc practices to the churlish subject of your or my tendencies. Congratulations on the KSU (found in the university collection like Lafayette?) and the other two meteorites that have been classified thanks in part to some of your initiative.
