[meteorite-list] Please...!!!

[Gary K. Foote]

Happy New Year Alexander,

Unfortunately MF has taken to using language that is offensive to Native Americans as 
well as being directly pejorative of Russian capabilities.  I am decended of Native 
Americans [1/2 ancestry] and so do recognize the damage and ridicule done to those MF 
sees as useful vehicles for his vituperative remarks.  I will always take great exception 
to anyone who disparages my ancestry, as would, I am sure, yourself, especially in a 
public, international forum.  This is no longer a running gag, but instead is a matter of 
honor to me.  Perhaps they can find a different method of poking fun at one another that 
does not disparage others.

Consider me a meteorite of personal integrity flashing across the metlist skies.
