Hi Eric and List,

My bad, I misunderstood your intent. I had a burr under my saddle
today, so it would have been wise for me to be scarce instead of
injecting my two cents on what is essentially a non-issue.

Like someone else in this thread said - regardless of what the new age
practitioners say about meteorites curing addictions, I will say that
is entirely false. Meteorites have become an all-consuming addiction
of their own. Although it did break my addiction to Televue
eyepieces. I can't afford meteorites *and* Naglers. LOL

Best regards,

MikeG
