[meteorite-list] Re: eBay warning about seller

[David Freeman]

Dear Bob, List;
Indeed so!   So, to ask the $64,000 question, does the commonly used 
term "meteorwrong" come with a negative connotation, and does it have a 
presence in dictionaries, meaning does it have diction with a positive 
connotation, or is it  still a negative, there be it, a negative 
negative being a positive?
Can we get "meteorwrong" in a dictionary with a positive connotation?
