Hi List, After fielding several private emails regarding my diabtribe this morning, I want to emphasize that I regret the way I expressed myself. This is not the first time I have put my considerable foot in my gaping mouth, and I hope it will be the last. After this experience, I pledge to control my pissiness.
1) I will step away from the keyboard 2) Take a deep breath 3) Rethink my words carefully before hitting "Send" Before anyone judges me too harshly (as I did Mr. Andes), please understand my heart was in the right place, even if my mind was being a jerk. I think meteorite collectors get a bad rap in the scientific community and I only hope that my pissy rant did not further damage the image of meteorite collectors. If that is the case, I sincerely apologize to everyone on the behalf of collectors and I take 100% full blame and responsibility for my harsh words. Best regards, MikeG (meteorite-collecting jerk) ......................................................... Michael Gilmer (Louisiana, USA) Member of the Meteoritical Society.
