i also don't recall anyone having suggested that mike has been
"heroic." however, mike's efforts and successes in meteorite
recovery are nothing short of extraordinary.
regardless of what anyone personally thinks of mike or his off-topic
missives, any future overview of meteorite hunters which neglects to
cite mike's accomplishments should be regarded with suspicion---as it
would be conspicuously weak in scholarship.

Hunting and dealing meteorites is not a "heroic" achievement as some
seem to indicate in their messages to this board. Diving in the water

your buddies is heroic.
A hero kills people, people that wish them harm. A hero is part
human and part
supernatural. A hero is born out of a childhood trauma, or out of a
disaster
that must be avenged.
(Please point out who said Mike was a "hero", because I missed it).
