Bob, Ron and List,
It very often goes beyond the point that Bob mentions. Some of these
arrogant "experts" claim that members of the scientific community are
conspiring to take their rare finds away from them and become MORE
convinced that what they have is a one-in-a-million find. No amount
of logic or rational reasoning can sway them from their position.

I think you missed the point. The 'arrogance' lies with those who,
even after reputable science has repeatedly proven them wrong, still
tout their rocks as priceless meteorites.

As a person who also collects minerals (NO, they aren't as you say common
worthless rocks) as well as smaller meteorites (no, I can't collect the
million dollar meteorites like you apparently do), that's a bit of an
ARROGANT statement don't you think? We all make the same mistake at one time
or another.
Unless of course as I'm finding out every day I'm on this list, we're
Michael Farmer.

so sad to see delusional people who think that their
common worthless rock is worth millions.
If Randall is involved with this new "Venus
Meteorite", then this will be a hoot and a holler!
Sit back and enjoy the ride.
