Maybe Pete could ask Art about the poll recently conducted about Ssteve
and how much nonsense this has contributed
from a number of parties on the list.
All list members that are new and feel sorry for Ssteve should read the
list archives for the past few YEARS before chastizing anyone about
picking on our poor posterchild for very suspect business practices.
And my appologies to the newbies for blindly supporting very poor
business practices in the meteorite world.

Elton, the "real group" and I would all accept your apology after you
read the archives.
Sincerely,

Hello, List!
Hi, (Elton?);
Elton, I guess your post means you're in charge of the "If you're not
with us, you're against us" department here.
I'll try to calm your suspicions of me being a figment: (your
cyber-snooping indicates you've got way too much time on your hands,
and definitely lost focus of this newsgroup. You're the type of person
that makes firewalls, worm protection and anonymity on the web
unfortunately necessary these days. See below - all you had to do was
ask!)
First, I'm not on anyone's side here.
I'm here to learn about meteorites from people as interested in them
as I am.
Being virtually at the beginner level, I have little to contribute.
Therefore, my lack of postings shouldn't be suspicious to you.
My profession is in the sciences, and I've got a fair working
knowledge of my primary personal interest - astronomy. I'll chat
anything from quantum physics to orbital calculus with you, if you'd
like, but that would be a bit off topic...
Meteorites are a relatively new concentration for me. I thought I had
found one last summer, and after that excitement, I was truly bitten
by this field. (No - it wasn't one)
I belong to several news groups and blog sites covering a wide variety
of interests.
I joined the Meteorite List about a week ago and it's been the benefit
I sought.
My meteorite collection consists of one decent sample of the Brenham
pallasite, and although it was a gift, I guarantee it wasn't purchased
through Steve.
I don't know Steve.
I have visited his web site. Without criticism meant; though I could
see his obvious enthusiasm by his collection (which would be very
interesting to see close-ups of each sample), I found it mundane and
uninformative. ***It looks like a new site, and I'm sure it will
eventually improve. (But, hey! That's his business and his web site)
I'm not here to fight his battles.
I have no interest in what's behind the abrasion between you.
My post was out of frustration.
As I said, I'm with several lists and blogs spread over several
interests - some with the expected rude and crude free-for-alls by
experts - and I enjoy them all, but seeing a gaggle of insulting
"flamers" in action a couple of times already in a supposedly science
oriented group was disappointing to see here, and I reacted.
Predictably, you'll keep the flaming going, thereby degrading the
legitimacy of the rest of the group.
Hopefully, I can keep learning about meteorites from you all without
the nonsense to sift through!
Apologies and only respect to the real group!
Pete

Hello Cyber Sleuth's and Peace Loving Meteorite Enthusiasts!
I am not in anyway trying to participate in the latest round of I,
Steve. (But by writing this I guess I am and I have previously
apologized for THIS post in my previous posts) This is about the
supporters of His Works perhaps following the Matteo Protocol. I've
wondered for some time why the few supporters of Chitown Ste2ve that
speak up on the list, generally have throw-away, easy-to-fake email
addresses... They post in Steve's hour of distress then they disappear
into oblivion--never answering their emails..... Never posting on any
other topic so far as I can recall.
Makes me wonder how real those support emails are. I guess when you
have as few real friends as some ex dealers-- er.... Limited Dealers
have , one would be tempted to start a dialog with one's alter -ego.
Anyone know where ISP [65.54.175.200] and
[bay104-nat1.bay104.hotmail.com] are located. My tools say the domain
doesn't exist. DNS query for *65.54.175.200* failed: *Queried domain
does not exist.*
Surely Chitown Ste2ve isn't so sophisticated as to cover his cyber
tracks. er His supporters aren't so sophisticated as to cover his
tracks...er their tracks....er you know what I mean.
Speak up, Pete, show us you aren't a figment of someone's
imagination. I like to know who and where I am talking with in the
case we trade meteorites in the future<wink>
Inquiring mind wants to know.

I don't mind your posts, Steve - I never get tired of looking at pics
of meteorites. If I don't want to buy, I don't read the sales
pitch...like going into an electronics store looking at the new
gadgets without any intent to buy.
Why is everyone so p-o'd? Isn't this part of what we're here for? I
admire anyone with a passion for this stuff!
Pete
