Re: (meteorobs) Re: distance from central vision


Hello,

Peter Bias, Chuck, Norman and all.

Really happy into knowing that four wheels can be much safer than any other
adventure. Thanks too for all those that added explanations about LM. And,
the least, but not the last, my deepest gratitude for understanding my quick
way of typing when I changed the letters ZHT instead of ZHR. This list is
good in many ways, and this is one I appreciate most. Besides, there's
another aspect, I didn't intend to correct anybody, but, just intended to
add some about this interesting subject (LM). My best for your kind and nice
comprehension, Marco Valois
