Dear Gary and List Members,

I apologize to the list members for taking up list space and this will 
be my last post on this subject.

In defense of Gary, the meteorite dealers site in question is 
http://www.meteoritedealers.com/
and I'm absolutely positive that Gary has nothing to do with this site 
or it's owners.

In defense of my 1000 visits per day statement please view the following 
screen print. http://www.meteorite.com/stats_122106.jpg
We started with a new hosting company in May so May's results are not 
for a full month. Our stats require our server username and
password which I won't post here.  If anyone does not trust the graphic 
I will furnish a 3rd party with the information for verification.

I think the stats speak for themselves.

Our daily average visits is
June 2006 = 783
July 2006 = 774
August 2006 = 760
September 2006 = 816
October 2006 = 932
November 2006 = 976
December 2006 through the 20th is averaging 1087 visits per day.

As for Gary's posting statistics. here is a graphical representation 
http://www.meteorite.com/posts.jpg
I only included December's posts up to his announcement. I'm not a 
statistician so you can make up your
own conclusions.

I would appreciate it if someone would check my accuracy on the list 
archives by author as I've been
up for close to 24 hours now and getting fuzzy headed. 
http://www.meteoritecentral.com/archives.shtml 
If I've made any mistakes, please post a correction and  I apologize in 
advance but this is my final post
on this subject.

Gary, you're fairly new to the list and still have lots to learn.  You 
might start by reviewing the links in
your right hand column under Services/Supplies.  I'm surprised it's 
still there after a year. I would have
thought someone would have said something to you by now.

Paul,

Thanks for posting your site's stats.  They do show you get more visitors than 
my site.  
I understand that your site covers a lot more than simply dealer listings, so I 
am not 
surprised at the difference in visits.  Mine is much more specialized and 
reaches out to 
people looking for meteorites for sale almost exclusively.  Perhaps this 
explains why 
your site sees more traffic than mine.

As for my metlist-posting stats which you graphically illustrated, I 
unsubscribed for 
some months this summer.  When I came back onboard in November my posting stats 
naturally 
rose once more.  This was definitely not an attempt to plump my postings, but a 
natural 
outcome of my time offlist.

Also, thank you for pointing out some dead links on my site.  They have been 
corrected or 
removed as necessary, along with a site redesign.  I do hope we can be friendly 
competitors instead of being 'on different sides of the fence'.  I understand 
that there 
was some confusion between my site, http://www.meteorite-dealers.com and 
another 
[apparently unsavory] person's site, http://www.meteoritedealers.cvom.  The 
dash is all 
important in differentiating between the two.

Though I may be new to the Metlist I understand email lists and their etiquette 
fully as 
I taught, and still teach, email marketing [including email lists and their 
uses] 
beginning in 1994.  It is only meteorics that I am still learning about here at 
Metlist.

So, let's be friends and shake hande - at least virtually.  We can easily 
co-exist 
peacefully without cluttering the list with arguments and competetive 
statements - of 
which I am not exclusively guilty.

Regards,

Gary Foote
