All, We shouldn't miss the really big picture here. Congratulatiuons to all involved for a truly positive article. Collectors/dealers have a symbiotic relationship with academics/scientists! We on this list understand that, but this may be the first journalist in history to get it right. Generally we are selfish blood-sucking leeches that deprive the scientific community of crucial research material while driving prices out of the reach of all legitimate institutions. Too often they ignore the fact that a specimen of every single classified meteorite is now, without charge, in the hands of the classifying institution for further research .
My immediate reaction was to send the author an email expressing huge satisfaction in the accuracy and balanced perspective of the article (which I did). I can't recall seeing anything close to this. Way to go Adam and Greg! True ambassadors of our community.

The misspelling doesn't bother me much. I only wish that Dr. Scott Kuehner had been mentioned because he is the Micro-probe operator and research scientist who always makes his laboratory and skills available to us at the University of Washington. He is an intricate part of the team! He is one of the very important, highly-skilled, background team players that makes things happen.
