I don't think Tom meant anything by bringing this subject, which has been 
ran through the mud, on the list, a few times too many.

Perhaps I wasn't clear on my story on the local guy, but that is who 
threatened to sue me over his badly suspected meteorite.  I have not 
communicated with DeRusse, until today briefly, and to be fair to him, he 
left a kind comment on my website a few weeks ago.

I however do not think DeRusse has what he think he does, but that is my own 
personal opinion.

Anyway, most list-members know that Alan Rubin has went out of his way for 
meteorite researchers-collectors-dealers a thousand times and UCLA has a 
track record in meteorites that is better then any other American 
University.  No disrespect elsewhere, UCLA had Dr. Frederick Leonard.

Anway, hoping this puts the subject to rest, if anyone is confused on 
anything, they should check the list archives...there is likely 100 e-mails 
on the subject and I see no reason to beat a dead horse.

Clear Skies,

PS: If you have not read Alan Rubin's book, "Disturbing the Solar System", I 
suggest you look for one.  Rubin covers about everything in this book, along 
with nice chapters on the moon, mesosiderites (which are much less confusing 
to me now), tektites, death of the dinosaurs and more.
