Hi Ingo,
You are right, the message was perhaps too strong.
I probably would take one or two words from it, now.
Patience.
But I still remember the insults that I received when the discussion was
with me.
Many of this so-called "meteorite hunters" are not far from criminals (at
least from a moral perspective), simply taking advantage of the absence of
specific legislation in most of the countries, and people`s naivety.
Call
it enterpreneurs attitude, if you prefer.
Some of them were selling hamburguers, or plumbing, before entering into
their new "scientific" activity...
I am sorry if I do not simpatize with them.
I must add that obviously SOME of them too are great people, with an
honest
interest and real knowledge on the subject.
Those would have much more to say in list than the usual "stars".
Regards.
AA

Hi Armando!
I think like you in a way! Many dealers, who are part of this list, do
look at meteorites only in a profit oriented way. They are not really
interested in the material and its scientific importance. The list is
only a big publicity place for them, nothing more.
The cut the material into crumbs and tell they would serve the science
and so on..... They see the list as a place for personal fights and not
as a place to let knowledge growth!
I'm pissed of this behaviour and I know a lot of list members (like you
and many more) too!
Armando, please don't go down to their level and attack someone
personally, like you have done in the mail below. This should not be our
way!
Try to make your protest in a smarter way....
Best Wishes!
Ingo

Dear friends,
From time to time, I take the time and patience to read what is
happening in
this list.
Invariably, Mike Farmer is exchanging insults with someone...
If this list was something near neutrality, this gentleman would have
been
banned long, long ago...
Anyway, from a certain distance, this fights can be very amusing, too.
Pitty that the only interest of the meteorites for this guys is the
potential profit, nothing else.
Apart from his predator attitude, arrogance, irritability and scientific
ignorance, what are his atributes?

Dear Mike and all,
Mike, would it help if you KNEW that NO ONE on the list wanted
to read ANY of the posts about issues you and this fellow have with
one another? If you knew that would you then spare us hearing about
it???
I experience you as a fairly intelligent fellow, so, please,
PLEASE
pay attention:
--------------
I suggest EVERYONE on the list think very carefully and decide
if they want to hear about this dispute between Mike and this fellow.
If even ONE list member WANTS to hear about it, please post to the
list your opinion to this effect.
-------------
Mike - if NO ONE responds, perhaps you could leave your
emotions
in check for just a moment, fall back on your ample intelligence and
keep
any communications with this fellow strictly between you and him, as
clearly, out of the hundreds of list members you will have heard for
yourself that NOT ONE of the list members wants to hear about it.
Sincerely, Michael
