Right off the top, I don't think anyone needs to get defensive about this subject. I'm hoping this whole matter will soon end on a very positive note. Keep in mind that I'm "pulling" for you guys up there in US Northwest, and that I've always been supportive of ALL of your research efforts.
The Elma matter isn't a "problem" in itself, as much as I see it being a window into other areas that are of a concern. For now, forget about the details of these concerns. Look at the big picture. What I'm going to attempt to show, in due time, is that there is a common underlying source for most of the problems we face in meteoritics. From the top to the bottom. From the science growing faster than the ranks can be filled, down to the petty bickering and back-biting among our members. And I point to NASA's withdrawal of funds for the classifying of non-Antarctic meteorites (and the docile acceptance of this situation by meteoriticists) as the single source for all of our "problems".
