Hey Bill,
What is it with some of the people on this distribution? According to
the met-list About, this is...
/"...with over 600 members, the best place to get information on rocks
from space!"/
I'm old on astronomy, and newish on meteorites. I joined thinking I'd
"get information on rocks from space". As for Ken's post (I don't know
the man) - it's useful to get a feel for the kind of scams that are
around. I'm not stupid, but I can be misled.
What's the primary purpose of this group, nowadays, in reality? Is it
for dealers? Mainly dealers, with collector/lurkers hoping to get an
inside tip? Or just a place for the Old Boys to ignore or beat up the
new guys? As a new member, I can honestly say that it's certainly not
an open and welcoming community. Most hobbies try to encourage
beginners - proponents want to share their knowledge, wonder and passion
about their interests. This kind of BS can only serve to put people off
the whole hobby.
So I guess I'll be flamed for this - off-list is fine, but I suppose
there's more grandstanding to be done by posting on-list. :-\

Hi Ken,
Are you bored to death? I am. A lot of list members have been reamed out for
posting these ebay warnings. Matteo comes to mind.
Please stop. If we want your opinion we'll join the imca and view it on your
invaluable website/s
Bill
