[meteorite-list] MPC republishing restrictions

[mexicodoug]

Hi Ed,

OK if you believe that, but to me the logic is about as sound as the planned 
dumping/disposal of the $1 million dollars cache of nearly century old Jack 
Daniels whiskey just confiscated in Tennessee.  It is a total lack of common 
sense.  Besides, it the IAU's responsibility to fund the MPC, and they get 
help from Harvard (with the trillion dollar endowment) for their honorable 
management.  Sheesh, no wonder it was so hard to publish the solution to 
Poincare's Conjecture for three dimensions and good research is so hard to 
come by on the Internet and vigorously copyrighted by groups like the IAU. 
What ever happened to the days I could tell a scientist I was interested in 
his research and he would mail me a bulk envelope filled with any and all of 
his reprints worldwide free of charge in exchange for one's enthusiasm. 
You'd think the Internet would have made this easier, not harder.   whimper 
and out.

Best wishes,
Doug
