Well said Pete.

I don't have time to read the whole list but some of
the info posts, especially those from the likes of Ron
Baalke are real gems and I love looking at some of the
pictures from the Mars Global Surveyor.
I also enjoy following some of the discussions about a
whole matter of things. The red rain in India being a
recent one
