I will erspond to the rest later, but for now:

P.S. To answer Justin about online access to Nature: I actually check the Nature website in advance of the email TOC notification, which I received about the same time as you apparently did. I have online access to almost all of the journals in my field, so if anyone wishes a copy of the Canup and Asphaug paper and/or the Melosh article, let me know.

sign me up!

On a limited basis, I could email it to you, or if the facility exists, perhaps place it online here at habitablezone.com for a LIMITED time. I normally wouldn't offer this, as the journals have fairly strict policies in this regard, but for this discussion group most people seem fairly reasonable, interested, and more importantly, DISCREET ;-)

well the facilities do exsist, and I am strongly tempted to take you up on the offer to put it up here as it would be more accessible to everyone, but once before the feeling that this place was discrete caused quite a scare when it turned out not to be (it will be left at that, it wasn't a 'public' incident. probably more of a fluke)

there are two ways I guess it could be handled suitabley: robert and I coudl put it up on HZ under 'password protection' and just email out to everyone the password. . . or if that s done, might as well just email the article out.

the latter would be better although I will email you about it.
