I had quoted: "reality is less than perfect ... "

Some clarifications are necessary here:

1) Martin and Michel, I have never bought a meteorite from the Pelissons
   - there is not one meteorite in my collection that comes from them.

2) Maybe I should not have quoted Mike's remark out of its proper context
   but I wanted to prevent mentioning any specific names from former rantings:

The "reality is less than perfect ..." comment was taken from the preceding
commotion between an Italian list member and an American list member. Mike F.
was referring to the fact that, although he respected my wish for a harmonious
co-existence among people, reality does show that this is only wishful thinking.

Several recent events - including the Pelissons' accusations obviously prove
that Mike's statement is true and thus I wrote, "so sad but so true!"

3) I thought I had made my point quite clear when I responded to Tracy's
  mail: "enraged if this should be more than just a nasty, filthy joke".


Wishing everyone
a good day,

Bernd
