Thanks for your graciousness MikeG!? Yes, the one thing that we can?all agree on
is the awesomeness of our extraterrestrial visitors (talking rocks here
folks...).? And the benefit of having a clean, safe environment within which to
enjoy them.

Clear skies and happy weekend all,
Mark

Hi Mark, Geo, and List,

I agree with Mark here.? I apologize also for shooting off my mouth.
Thankfully we all agree on meteorites and that is what unites us - so
let's concentrate on that.? :)

I think that big injection of negative energy from the NYT article has
stirred up the waters and a portion of this discussion was indirectly
fueled by that.

And to my remaining friends in Louisiana - I didn't mean to offend and
I apologize also.? I only meant to point out that Louisiana is worth
saving and has not gotten a fair shake.

Best regards,

MikeG
