[meteorite-list] Re: Entry Burn [was Lunar Burn]

[Walter Branch]

Hello Everyone,

I have been out of the list loop for several weeks now with work-related
duties and have only sporadically been reading messages.  I just got
caught-up on what seems like hundreds of posts.  I must say, I have really
enjoyed the discussions of defining a plant, green burns (it's the oxygen),
carbonaceous chondrites, "plutons" (don't like it) etc.  Very enjoyable
reading.  Thanks everyone.
