Sir, you have offended my pc sensitivity!
The politically correct terminology should be:

Hi All,
You gotta love the List....It produces more fruit cakes than a German
bakery.

>Hello Glyn-- Giving your claim all advantages with a cursory review: Using
>your 0.22 cubic meter figure and putting in the highest measured martian
>density of 3.48 gr per cc, I get 76kg launch weight and 38 Kg ( assuming
>50% ablation by weight) landing under perfect conditions. My max weight
>from the data i did have in my head, 28-32kg was not far off but not to
>the order of magnitude difference-- it still does not add up to 800lbs.
>The total weight is immaterial in one sense as to date there have been no
>"meteorite showers" of martian material. The chaos of an impact, in my
>mind, would not produce a coherent stream of meteoroids which would remain
>together for the several hundred thousand up to millions orbits it takes
>for martian material to arrive on earth. Paired finds are consistent with
>atmospheric breakup supporting a single original mass.
>
>I saw your extensive mineralogy and you may in fact have a meteorite-- or
>impactiite but, I did not see where the mineral composition nor noble gases
>plotted amongst plots of the entire range of meteorites. I don't know who
>the keeper of data is for those plots but you could still plot yours on the
>master graph. (I may have lots of stray data in my head but that isn't one
>of them).

>I think that the way you seem to misdirect technical answers and the way
>what you do claim what you do, is buried amongst irrelevant comparisons
>that lend skepticism to your report thus far. May I say that much of your
>response is filled with irrelevant comparisons and non sequitur
>conclusions. Apollo rocks have nothing to do with validating your claims.
>
>If I unserstand, you did some of the mineralogy and sent some off for
>analysis, but you won't name or revel any professional meteorist nor
>geo-chemist nor anyone else accredited who has either reviewed your work or
>through their own study. Yes or no? If so, what prevents you from
>releasing it? What is the shock stage if you know it?
