Yes. And I searched the archives. I actually read through the archives
before I signed up for the list.

In fact, I signed up for the list /despite/ the content of the archives
(and I ain't just talking about Steve here). I signed up because I
wanted to learn more about meteorites (sorry to drag things down to that
level).

So he's a good human being, but whenever he posts to the list you want
to do violence. There's certainly an issue there.

Good grief - as a Scotsman living in England, I wouldn't dream of
challenging your 1st amendment rights, even if you don't reside in the
US. Some things are universal :)

Other things I believe are universal include treating people with
different views, backgrounds, beliefs (and personalities) with respect.

Read your own words, and decide if you're really focusing on the right
things. I'm really, really not being flippant - we've all got families,
jobs, mortgages, kids... if (collectively) you've got time to pore
over, collate, precis, and repost "300+" postings from one individual
who you have an issue with, are you really telling me you can't think of
a better use of your time?

Sometimes we just need to get outside and smell the flowers.

More in hope than expectation,
Mark
