>Dear Utas,

>I am Count Guido Roberto Deiro, Lord of Selasco, Precorsano, Canavese and Deiro Inferiore e Superiore. (Italian counties in the Region of Piedmonte, Italy). I am a member of the Italian Royal House of Savoia (The exiled King of Italy's household.) and hold the position of Guadia d'Honore del Tombe del Re.
>(Thats one of the select noblemen who guards the Tomb of the King of Italy in the Parthenon. (The oldest building in Rome.) Italy's George Washington.

>A public school in Salto Canavese, Torino, Italy has been named "L'Acadameia d'Count Deiro" in my honor for my subscriptions and support in the construction of the facility which serves over 500 grade school children in the Valle d'Orco.
>
>I am a Knight Grand Cross and the Grand Chancellor of the Sovereign Dynastic Order of St. John - Knights of Malta (One of the oldest orders of chivalry in the world.). And a Knight Grand Cross of the Sovereign Military Order of St. George. Both positions were aquired through a lifetime of work supporting International Red Cross and Refugee Relief on four continents. These investitures can only be made by a King, Queen, Prince or Princess. In my case, HRH King Michael of Romania, HRH Prince Henri of France and HRH Eric von Pappenheim of Germany.

>The Governor of the State of Nevada proclaimed that December 29th of each year is to be known as "Count Deiro Day". The Governor of the State of Kentucky commissioned me a Colonel in the State Guard. (The late Colonel Sanders was also an officer.) The City of Las Vegas proclaimed me an "Outstanding Citizen" and named a boulevard "Count Deiro Drive". These honors were granted in recognition of my years of service to the less fortunate citizens of those localities.

>Finally, I will only print the operative words in the Certificate of Recognition from the United States of America. This Citation recognizes certain services performed by me on behalf of this country.... " the citizens of this country are forever grateful." Signed. Donald Rumsfeld - Secretary of Defense.

>I wrote this self serving rant as a paen to your abject stupidity and lack of social graces. You do not, even in this armpit of society, adress personages of nobility and condition by their surnames. It is a huge insult. Akin to calling you a "MF" or a "CS". And my surname is spelled "Deiro". Pronounced "day-row" like in "dago" :0)

>I trust we will not meet in the future lest I swipe a glove across your countenance! You have insulted me and I have a right to satisfaction. (Note, Rolling Stones 1965). Before accepting and arranging the meetings of seconds, you may wish to avail yourself of information concerning my ability with swords and firearms. You will find that I am a Prevost d'Armes of the International Academie d'Escrime in Foil, Epee' and Saber. Further, I am a Certified NRA Instructor with ratings in Home Firearm Safety, Armed Personal Defense, Refuse to be a Victim and Pistol.

>Nah...Jason and List....This was all written for laughs...although it is accurate....but really, it's not nice to insult, or beliitle people you don't really know anything about. You may be surptised whose ox you have gored.

>Now, as to your fascination with the story of the recent Cat Mountain finds. Why concern yourself? You aren't in a position to buy any of it.. and it's too late now cause it's all gone! Gone... To happy campers.

>>Hello All,
>>Greg is correct; unless the meteorites have been found in a demarcated

>>Since you failed to answer my question in private, Diero, I'll ask you
