Hi Count and List,

I do agree about the fear-mongering in the media. It is interesting
to visit the major US news websites and pay attention to which outlets
are using the most sensationalistic language and engaging in blatant
fear-mongering. Some outlets are reasonably reporting the news with
minimal sensationalism, while others are offering big helpings of fear
with a side of panic.

Best regards,

MikeG

PS - on meteorite-related note, are there any national or major
Japanese meteorite collections that have been impacted by the quake or
tsunami?
