[meteorite-list] Habitual Line Crossing....

[Michael Blood]

Hi Erik,
        Excellent points by good ol' George. Well
Taken.
        In spite of some differences of humor, I consider
Anne and others who have expressed both leanings on
the heretofore discussion to be friends.
        In addition, following the advice of
One of the wiser founding fathers, I shall not make
Further reference to the one some consider "unmentionable."
        Best wishes, Michael
