Norm,

Did you miss this statement from the first article?

"I invite you to please share your views and images of specimens that you
have either
supporting or opposing so that we can all better understand these amazing
objects."

And no I did not repeat it in the second article and yes I should
have. Gee maybe I
was in a hurry trying to get another issue of MeteoriteTimes up for people
to enjoy.

Please spank my hand a little harder. If this is how you share and help us
understand
I really don't want your help.

Why don't you do something positive and write next months Tektite of the
Month with
specimens you have and why you don't think they could be. That's how we
all learn.

I certainly won't be writing anything next month to stimulate thinking...
why bother

Paul
