(meteorobs) End of Off Topic discussion

[Eric Wichman]

I concur with Count Deiro on this one. Dirk's site has lots of good 
information. It takes a lot of time and effort to compile that kind of 
information.

For Wayne to have a problem with Green Fireballs, and try to disallow 
the posting of that topic is not very professional and at the very least 
seems biased against Dirk's opinions, website and links. Everyone on 
this list has a right to express themselves and their opinions without 
fear of reprisal by list owners or moderators.

As for the topic of Green Fireballs, this is a completely relevant topic 
to this list, and I see no reason whatsoever that Dirk's links and 
threads regarding this subject not to be allowed.

Wayne, a word of unsolicited advice... Back up, and check yourself. Your 
attitude and bias toward Dirk is obvious to all list members, don't let 
that cloud your judgement on this issue.

Regards,
Eric
