Ryan and List Members, Thank you on behalf of the quake and tsunami victims of
Japan.
Best Always, Dirk...Tokyo
Sorry for the very late response. The 4 OK large meteors have kept me very
busy since 23MAR2011.

Dear List,
I suggest that you all take a look at today`s The Latest Worldwide
Meteor/Meteorite News. There are some newspaper articles that will require
strong seasonings, maybe not just ketchup.

This is one of the most sensationalized, biased, uninformed, and skewed
article I've ever read on NYT's website regarding meteorites. Mainly the
article focuses on the Gebel Kamil iron meteorite, however it paints a
grim picture and tries to draw a connection to all meteorites implying

Thanks Dirk for posting your links.

An interesting quote:
“It’s a black market,” said Ralph P. Harvey, a geologist at Case Western
Reserve University who directs the federal search
For those who are inclined to do so, you can certainly write a letter

times as a response:

I just spoke with Dr Ralph Harvey a little bit about his quotes. Given his
research and history, I wanted to better understand his comments.
It seems his comments were taken out of context to some degree (so he states)
and mentioned to me he was speaking to meteorites recovered without proper
Perhaps one of the many esteemed researchers on this list would be kind enough
to write a rebuttal.

Greg,
I'm glad you spoke with the source, Dr. Harvey. Its good to hear he was
mis-quoted. I believe that to my core.
As someone who has been interviewed many times over the past decade, even being
allowed to read and comment on copy before it goes to print (believe me, a
hugely rare event!)
I'd point the editors to the mountain of rebuttals that Martin Altmann
has posted to the List in the past on the subject of meteorites and
laws. The collector versus science pseudo-conflict makes for
dramatic reading, but it has no basis in reality.
Best regards,
MikeG
I agree with Richard, and also if you do contact him, be very polite. He has
done a good amount of research on meteorites and is a nice person to talk with.
I wanted to post about my discussion with him so others knew his comments were
out of context. After reading the article then researching
and again the subject line changing...
and now we might have 3 threads for the same discussion.
I really don't get this forum anarchy with subject lines...
Cheers

This is very disturbing. I cannot listen to any more of this and say nothing.
The New York Times has reduced itself, once again, to a lousy rag by
demonstrating a bias towards bad news instead of the truth. It is this ratings

I propose that Martin Altmann compose a scathing rebuttal to this melange of
blithering blather.
