Dear Rob, List;
I think that John and most list members would agree that one does not go
to the "big dance" with the sole purpose of only dancing with the most
beautiful ladies. The fun is getting to know all of the participants
(good, bad, or ugly).
 I enjoy a good Nantan or Campo as well as a Zagami specimen, and the
Nantan's and Campo's are a whole lot more common, more forgiving if
dropped on the carpet, and easier to replace if lost.

Science is the base for study, but the Mohamed's, Frass's, and Schimpf's
make it a little bit more exciting. If we all wore green every day, it
would soon become very boring.
  
Meteorites and meteorite collectors are the same way (well maybe not
THAT way) for me. Meteorites are rare, fascinating, and quite
interesting, as are all of those who collect them. Even meteorwrongs and
those who collect and sell them have a lesson for us all.
 
If we only stuck to science, half of the list would dry up and blow
away.
To put it another way, debutantes are boring (just ask Jeff Foxworthy).

Signed,
Dave (Ernest T. Bass) Freeman
