Mark,

I'd just rather not comment on this but since you have attempted to put
Martin and me in the bad guy spot, and words into my mouth I'll comment. I
am commenting for myself and not Martin.

First you have made 4 or 5 posts on this subject, mainly trying to end the
debate. I have only made two (one by mistake) comments until this post,
supporting a post by another member. While I respect some of what you are
saying about letting the topic die, and I believe this had no place on this
list (there are plenty of other forums for this) there is nothing wrong with
addressing what another member commented needlessly and out of place on. If
this member had simply kept it to himself, then the issue would not still be
blazing away.

You seem to have attempted to put yourself into some sort of authoritative
figure here and put words into my mouth and I don't appreciate that. I don't
appreciate the condescending way you went about it. You again have posted on
the subject rather than let it die. So you are equally guilty of keeping
this thread alive. Again if you don't like reading something then delete it.

You have also put yourself in the roll of list moderator which you are not.
While I appreciate that you don't care for the thread I'd appreciate it if
you don't drag me into to all this which you did. Now maybe we can get back
to meteorites and all this can die.
