The content of E.P.'s public repetition of unbridled "I told you so" exultation leading toward commdification just proved his inauthentic motives. Immediately, once another's research opens a new exploitable market, you preemptively stake your claim in/of commandeered discourse. Hibbens "muck" has not been demonstrated to have any relationship to the YD sediments recently described (http://www.agu.org/meetings/sm07/sm07-sessions/sm07_PP41A.html ; http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6676461.stm ;http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/summary/316/5829/1264?rss=1) At least your exposure of the information about these irridium-enriched desposits itself can prevent you from monopolizing the initially available supply of YD impact fallout sediments. YD impactities are probably microscopic, so dust, Grondine, is what you get - think Tunguska. -Thaddeus --- "E.P. Grondine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
