-------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

QUOTE (ljk4-1 @ Jun 19 2006, 03:37 PM)  I'm just curious: Is there any particular reason that you're reviving a thread that's been dormant for nearly a year by posting a bare link to a document that's nearly ten years old? |

Hi Alex, I already explained my actions to Doug, but: I thought people on this forum particularly might find a document on NEAR of interest that had not been available online before (after all, I see plenty of info and talk on space probes far older than that one) and I wanted to put it in a thread relevant to NEAR, and this was the closest one I could find. But if people don't want it and aren't interested, then feel free to get rid of it. I have no personal attachment to it and certainly did not intend to turn it into the big deal it apparently has become. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,

I believe that document has been online since before NEAR entered orbit around Eros. In fact, I remember downloading it from the NEAR site years ago. I could be mistaken, though. At any rate, a few words explaining why the post is relevant (as you do above) probably would help. I only bring this up because I'm "guilty" of the same thing. Over the past couple of months I've tried to stop bombarding the forum with posts, especially those that are only peripherally related to a thread. Given the amount of postings one has to wade through, self-restraint would really be appreciated. Don't take it personally, though. Those words (or something close to them) have been said to me in the past.
