[meteorite-list] Bigfoot and the "Nakhla Dog" - what do they havein common?

[John Teague]

Post like this one is why I "love" this list!

Al, you should be ashamed of this post.  I really hope that you posted it in haste.  There are just too many personal attacks in it to be otherwise.

But if it was not in haste, flame me if you must/want/will.  Go for it as I have my big-boy pants on!

>> LOL Now now boys... Calm down.

>> Al... I'll try to be as nice as possible. Can I see your Met-List Police

>> Lighten up man. You're jumping all over Mike for expressing his opinion

>> Mike, Good for you for keeping an open mind. (you need not apologize for

>> By the way that Bigfoot Rapture joke was f***ing hilarious!
