He seems to be a bit exorcised about Stefan's "finding" it as he has a website discussing its possible impact origin; I can't read Deutsche but it looks impressive, with lots of views from Google Earth. He has written about it in Wikipedia, etc. He seems that he may feel that Stepfan claims to have discovered it, but the context of Stefan's original posting is quite otherwise: "Has anybody heard about an impact crater in Nicaragua at coordinates 13?21' N / 85? 57' W It?s about 12km in diameter and the town of Las Praderas lies directly in the center. It?s very good to see in Google Earth." It sounds to me as if Stefan has "heard" of it, and is asking if anybody on The List has more information about it, that's all. Although some of those who responded to his posting may have assumed that Stefan "found" it, Stefan does not say so. As Mr. Kowald requests, I forward his email to Stefan and as I have only the same email address for him as Kowald does, I am posting Kowald's email to The List, hoping I am not encouraging an unnecessary quarrel.

I had also written a Letter to the german journal "Sterne und Weltraum", which was published in May 2006. I believe that Mr. Brandes had read this Letter. I wrote a mail to stafan.brandes_at_gmx.at but got no answer yet. If you receive this message, could you please forward it to Stefan Brandes? Thanks and best regards Leo Kowald (leo.kowald_at_gmx.de) Received on Fri 02 Jun 2006 04:01:44 PM PDT |
