Dear List,
I just got home from work and found what the list has been busy with today
and it distresses me more than the closing of the magazine.
We decided to stop the magazine for a host of reasons and not because of
any group of individuals or particular thing. It was the accumulation of
things that made it no longer a pleasure to do. We never wanted anyone to
be known or accused.
We stopped the magazine to preserve friendships that our venue was putting
in jeopardy because of a variety of factors we simply could not get good
control of.
I would ask that you not make our efforts of no avail by continuing to bash
dear friends. They have made and will continue to make far more important
contributions to this community over time than Paul and I ever will. They
are far more passionate people about meteorites and will serve to expand
the scope of our field of interest to a much greater degree than we could.
I would ask you all to appreciate that they are all caring individuals,
that have feelings, and those feelings have been hurt, today. Nature hates
a vacuum some other publication or discussion group will appear. Perhaps
this list can provide similar material to what we offered, that would just
be wonderful.
Paul and I really enjoy going to Tucson and seeing everyone, we have always
entered every room with a smile. There have always been only friends there.
That is my wish for all of you that in every suite you visit there will
always be a friendly welcome without hard feelings. I don't know what I
will be thinking this year. But, I am hoping for the best year ever.
I for one am not going to ever say more about this, and look forward to the
next time I see all of you.
