[meteorite-list] metorwrongs...

[Tom Knudson]

Hi Bob and list.
"My main point is that even legal terms are defined by
common usage, and the common usage of "meteorwrong"
isn't applied to "everything that isn't properly
classified"."

I have to agree with Bob,  according to Manoj, Dean Bessey is the worlds
largest supplier of meteor-wrongs, I don't think so!

Thanks, Tom
