Indeed!! And the Bessey Speck moniker should also stick as Dean reveled in his BSing ;-) and weathered a tsunami of criticism initially for spec-ulating. (Myself and a couple of others ran and took cover.) On Oct 18, 2006, at 2:13 PM, Martin Horejsi wrote: Hi All, I think the real

Doug and all, This is closer - but to be truly a Bessey Speck a specimen must be small enough to VERY, VERY EASILY fit in the smallest sized gelatin capsule (they come in a variety of sizes) and should be difficult or nearly difficult to see for anyone with less than 20/20 vision. Also
