Still, you had no business interfering with Allan's and my deal. You
didn't even know Serge nor what was going down, you merely put your big
arse into something where it didn't belong. History would be different
if you had minded your own business instead of screwing Al and myself
(which you didn't even know you were doing in my case).

As for changing the subject to the pairing of 1839 and 3133, I told you
before I don't bother busy scientists with crap that you start, but
rather, I read published documents for my information. The information
that you clainm is incorrect is published by Drs. Ted Bunch and James
Wittke on the NAU website and is currently still there. Ask them to
remove it for the sake of accuracy in the field of meteoritics, for this
is what I will refer to on this issue, and nothing Adam Hupe says will
change that.
