    Mike,
 
  This "Alien Live" thread has been going on for a long, long time. Did you protest this *off topic thread* before? Why are you responding to me and my post? I'm just a "Johnny come lately" in this discussion. I finally just got sick and tired of the non-meteorite irrational posts, so I figured I might as well take an opposite stand in the discussion.
  Non-meteorite topics constantly come up on "The List". I try to stay out of them, but when it just keeps going on and on, and the discussion is for the most part, one sided, I get a bit irritated.
  As I've written here on "The List" before, I'm more than willing to stick with discussing just meteorites. However, I won't be the *only one* who has to abide by that rule. If everyone would only write about meteorites, then you would NEVER see me go off topic.
 
  With respect,
 
  Greg Lindh
