Oh no... no need to take that personally at all!

I was "quoting" what Mr Sedgwick wanted.
He was very adamant on rules about quoting. IF you explore his website, you'll see that. And it's VERY understandable why.
He ADDS to his information, and adjusts figures and meanings as they change, appropriately-- which adds to the reason he he would put stipulations on his materials being "quoted". He would probably rather that every person go to the main-place he posts his work... his website... to search out the latest and most 'correct' information. His website is AWESOME!!
{{Certainly, you AND I can understand because we ask people not to quote our work for same reasons. Sometimes I need to make 'corrections' OR to adjust for readability.}
He has worked with astronomers on 'naming' asteroids.
He changes his website to add names {explanations, and meanings} for Unnamed Asteroids.
Thanks Randall for backing his stated request.
I just wanted to honor him, and be careful and mindful of requests the authors make. He has a GREAT amount of information (research that HE has done) on asteroids.
