[meteorite-list] Grandstanding?

[GREG LINDH]

       Hi Darren,

    I'm one of those "religious folk" that you refer to and I'm familiar 
with the verses you quoted and I could quote more.  I may have done things a 
little differently were I in charge of the effort, but I choose to cut 
Steve, Mark, Geoff, etc....a bit of slack.  They put forth a considerable 
effort to bring relief to hurting people and that's good thing.  Too many 
people today are apathetic and don't do anything.  I think those involved in 
this effort have good hearts, and that carries a lot of weight with me.

    Regards,
                  Greg Lindh
