Dear Geoff and List:
Thanks for that. Nice to see you posting to the List again : )
You are right, I was very angry. Like you, I was looking forward to hearing about other listees' experiences in Tucson -- not yet another round of this meteorwrong B.S., so I wrote a brutally sarcastic reply to DeRusse last night, and then I didn't bother to post it . . . because he and his Soggy Bottom Meteorite Country Bumpkin Boys evidently crave the attention. They don't seem to be able to tell a meteorite from a cow pocky, and no matter how many universities tell them that their "meteorites" are lame old river rocks, they just keep on with it. I really wouldn't care -- it's their time to waste -- except for their cruelty towards Dr. Ehlmann who, as you know, is a friend of mine.
Why on earth would somebody post nasty made-up things about our Dr. Ehlmann -- an eminent geologist and universally liked and respected scientist -- not to mention, a Harvey Award winner? Because they're jealous? Because their heads are full of compacted grey dust that "must" be from the moon since it's *grey* dust? Because they are so useless in the field that they can't find a real meteorite? Who knows, but it's got to stop.
List members, please make your views on this matter known immediately to the List Moderator. Email me off-List if you need his email address.
Hey DeRusse, I will answer your question about the "nomination procedure": The mighty Harvey Awards Committee (of which I am very honored to be a founding member) decides who receives the meteorite collecting community's awards each year. The only qualifications we have are the friendship, good humor, and respect of our peers . . . things I'm afraid you won't experience in this lifetime.
Geoff N.
Harvey Awards Committee Member and pleased to be considered a friend of Dr. Ehlmann
