[meteorite-list] Cutting a large meteorite with ... (Slightly off-topic)

[David Freeman]

Dear Bernd;
Please offer to your better half (I  hope any ways) that all of us tall 
people bump our heads a lot and that being shorter in stature does have 
it's benefits.  
Short cowboys had it rough but short coal miners had it much easier than 
tall.
Best,
(a tall) Dave F.
