Guido Asked:

"Can anyone argue that we are better off as a result of three years 
hyping the rarity and value of meteorites on cable TV and in the 
nation's print media?"

I am beginning to long for the good old days just a decade ago.  I have seen 
over a dozen countries restrict meteorite hunting including the U.S. in the 
past few years, many farms and ranches are now off limits due to the perception 
of being treated, fraud is at an all time high and wackos are coming out of the 
woodwork at an alarming rate.   Other than that, we are great shape.

Every time a self-proclaimed spokesperson seeking fleeting fame steps up to the 
plate, the rest of us are left to deal with the aftermath.


Happy Hunting,

Adam
