I concur with your argument, Gary! It also makes sense on the grounds that the label is placed on the meteorite in such a way that you can read the number more comfortably this way than turning the meteorite and reading the number the other way around... But your argument with loopsizes for the "8" is still stronger! :-) Alex Received on Wed 16 Mar 2011 11:31:05 AM PDT |
