Mr Cook, as you've email account has" disappeared" in the middle of a discussion perhaps you did so inadvertently so I am resending via the meteorite central list. I think the discussion merits sharing.

Now you create a mountain over a simple clarification to your usage. I enjoy mountain building leveling myself. The usual and least friction-causing response is to not respond and take note in subsequent discussion or just acknowledge with a "thanks for pointing that out" or a "Learn something new everyday". You are most welcome to be as enthused as you care to be and express yourself in what ever poetry or prose you choose. However when you speak inaccurately you should also expect to have to pointed out.Most all here invite corrections so that the info discussed here remains reliable and current. That is the way it works now and how it has worked for 15 years. If you are not here to discuss all aspects of meteorites,which by default also includes technical and scientific accuracy then why are you here? (That is rhetorical)-- we were all novices once; some choose to remain self-absorbed and clueless; others become highly versed in the science, history and lore . most would like to be accurate in their comments. We've no way to know that you feel differently about what you post here. Many novices do become experts in their own right within the many subject areas meteorites cover. This enables the list as a whole to be the resource that is is. Novices come and go, some remain novices their whole stay as they keep the novice state of mind closed to new information. That said, everyone is encouraged to ask or comment and chime in on topics they choose. That is how accurate information gets spread around.
