Hello Armando and kindly welcome back - you really never left, you know.  
Please leave your helmet and provocations to "Fire" in the trenches and study 
the list dynamics just a little bit as a nice peace offering.  Anyone daring 
the list to "Fire" isn't a very good element I am sure you would agree:-)  
You'll find that we're a much nicer bunch on the whole than you have given us 
credit for, so no need to fan yesterday's flames unless you feel like you have 
the right to make life miserable for many nice people who ask "Vat ist dis?" 
when reading some of the valueless banter.  Really, I don't think anyone is 
really looking to fight with you or anyone else so you can leave the war toys 
with the toy soldiers, etc. in the war-chest.  There is a lot of expertise here 
and even if some of us are mocosos, not editing out insensitive remarks amounts 
to trolling and seeking a fight -  the bane of all discussion groups.  Please 
don't teeter on being one and by that contribute to the degradation of the 
quality of the list and denigration of 600 innocent people deeply dedicated to 
meteorites, mostly a quite mature crowd, believe it or not.  Let me extend my 
personal cautious but friendly welcome to the group as it is a great pleasure 
to have some diversity from Portugal and that I really mean!  What was that 
about a 1 kilogram Oriuque (sp?) meteorite you had in your collection?  Is that 
something you could kindly talk about?  You know, all we know is what we read, 
and I bet you could do a great service to tell us more about the circumstances 
that fall in your fantastic country without even referencing what we already 
have heard too many times!

Saludos, Doug
Mexico
