Hi all -

Dirk's request for additional information on names
came as something of a surprise. Also, no mention of
jjswain in the women in meteorites. I wonder what
happened to her?

Were the meteorite list archives lost? If so, I have a
few selections which I saved, running back to 1998. I
suppose I could zip up a few files, if anyone would
want to place them in the archive.

MY FAREWELL TO THE LIST?? (I HOPE THIS GOES OUT TO
THE LIST WITH ME RIDING ON SOMEONE ELSE'S ORIGINAL
MESSAGE)
I'M IN EXTREMELY POOR HEALTH WITH KIDNEY FAILURE AND
POOR VISION ON TOP OF 55 YRS OF DIABETES WITH SEVVERAL
OTHER COMPLICATIONS. SO, DON'T THINK I'LL BE HAVING
MUCH MORE TO SAY ON TEKTITE ORIGIN, (WHETHER YOU THINK
GOOD OR BAD).

i SEE JOEL FINALLY PUBLISHED MY COMMENT ON WHAT BILLY
GLASS SAID IN THE LAST ISSUE. AS YOU WILL NOTE, HE
GAVE GLASS THE FINAL WORD, EVEN AN EXTRA PAGE.
SO, IN MY OPINION, YOU ARE LEFT WITH VERY MISLEADING
INFORMATION, AS USUAL.

i HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN ABLE TO READ IT YET, BUT THAT IS
ALWAYS THE CASE WHEN AN IMPACT ORIGIN FOR TEKTITE
GLASS IS CLAIMED. NO SENSE IN ME EVEN TRYING TO
RESPOND, AS JOEL TOLD ME THAT WILL BE THE END OF IT
FOR NOW.

I'VE HAD ABOUT 18 TEKTITE PAPERS PUBLISHED, INCLUDING
A 1986 PAPER IN NATURE (BUT JOEL DIDN'T PUBLISH MY
REFERENCES). i INVITE ANY SERIOUS TEKTITE
STUDENT TO GET INVOLVED SEARCHING FOR THE FACTS. I'VE
EXAMINED THOUSANDS OF LAYERED TEKTITES AND EVERY LAST
ONE OF THEM HAS A VOLCAINC STRUCTURE. NOTHING LIKE
REAL IMPACT MELTS SUCH AS HENBURY AND WABAR. TOO BAD
LAYERED TEKTITES ARE SO SCARCE. THEY ARE SO UGLY THAT
THEY ARE RARELY COLLLECTED, THO THERE ARE MANY TONS OF
THEM IN THE AUSTRALASIAN STREWNFIELD. THE SMITHSONIAN
HAS A TON OF THEM..

PLEASE DON'T ALLOW THE 'IMPACT GEOCHEMISTS' TO GET
AWAY WITH WHAT IN MY OPINION, IS A FARCE. THE MOON IS
NOT
VOLCANICALLY DEAD, THE RARE LUNAR WATER IS OFTEN FROM
MAGMAS, NOT COMETS,
ETC..

Of course, I disagreed with Darryl, as did the
evidence, but a magnificent argument on Darryl's part.
