Hello Steve and list,
 
I think you can take that as a welcome by the list. There are man people who feel they somehow became deputies in this meteorite world of ours.  That this meteorite is better then this metorite.  That what you call yourself somehow affects them and theirs. 
 
A good example, for over 5 years I have gone by "The Big Collector", long before I entered the Meteorite World.  Many feel that the moment I entered the meteorite world, I should have dropped the title because I did not fit their image of "Big" or "Collector" and one or two even had a problem with the word "The". Good thing I don't put any dashes in "The Big Collector", someone surely would have had an e-mails worth of anger.
 
Others have since came and used the world "Collector" with like resistance from the same members.  I think it's funny that others would be corcerned over some else's internet handle. At times we can be the most productive people, each sharing our common concerns and thoughts...and then other times members reminds us there is always an ass out there. 
 
The comments of others towards you shows their own ignorance.  All your e-mails are meteorite related and titled.  If anyone does not want to read Steve's (mine or anyone else's) the answer is simple. Delete. 
 
Welcome to the meteorite world Steve, hope to see you in Tuscon or Denver.
 
Mark Bostick "The Big Collector"

Hi list. I want to thank alot of you good folks for supporting me. I never
intended to cause such an uproar. I just wanted to know about LA 002. Now
I know. If we can get some great, if not no biggy. I'm just tired of being
threatend of being kicked out of this list. I love this List and all the
great guys and gals that make up this great list. I'll slow down the posts
and spamming. I just want to get along with my fellow meteorite friends
and can hardly wait to meet you in Tucson. It is hard to swallow when I'm
called a racist! I do not have a racist bone in my body. I know I should
not let 1 person get to me, but I do not believe in my heart of hearts
that I should be kicked around like this. If it was not for Mr. Haag, I
would not even be in this club of meteorite greatness. I owe alot to that
man. And when I get to Tucson, he'll be the first in a line of great
people I look forward to meeting. Thank you for letting me air myself out!
I hope you all have a great evening!!!!
