Hi Greg L and Greg C,
I agree 100% with you.
Bill, the time for writing your long e-mail must have cost you at
least one hour and enough energy to press several thousand times the
'delete' button for e-mails that you don't want to read.

Hi Greg,
I agree with your assessment. Chicago Steve may be a little odd,
but who of us isn't. I have gotten a couple of free meteorites from
him and I'm thankful to Steve for that. Instead of his constant
complaints about someone like Steve, who has a child like quality to
him in his quest to bring joy to others with his give aways, Bill
should try doing likewise. Perhaps he should buy a bunch of
inexpensive NWAs and just give them away to school children and
perhaps his neighbors. I've done this and believe me, seeing the
excitment in these people when they hold their first meteorite in
their hands is worth the time and money I spent.
As to you, Bill, should you read this email, I'd suggest you loose
the Scrooge like attitude toward life. Life is short. Best to make
an impact while we're here.

I just would like to add something to this...
My experience with Chicago Steve has ALWAYS been good.
He has given me many "freebies" and has also purchased from me, but
yet has NEVER asked for anything in return. No discounts, no
special deals, nothing.
I have bought from him, received the meteorites in a very prompt
time and they have been as described.
Thats my experience.
What I have seen in my limited time on the list...
He offers a great deal of wonderful meteorites, FREE to those that
want them.
Sure, he may break the rules from time to time, but no worse then
others have/do, and far less severity then many have done.
A few people are ready to jump all over him for posting too much,
yet remain silent while others do it.
Add to that the 10-15 posts about his post, makes for 1--15x as
much emails to deal with.
While I am not taking any sides in this, I just felt the need to
express my thoughts.
Hope everyone is doing well.

What exactly is your point?
(rhetorical of course) Who's the one with the problem? The
one who apologizes for some of the things they've done, or
the one who points out the faults of others and consistently
posts negative comments and BS with an obvious prejudice
that no one wants to read, and all in all never contributes
anything but negativity to the list. Must have taken a while
to compile the "apologies". What have you contributed to the
list that can be deemed the least bit noteworthy or positive
beside brash attempts at slamming other on the list? Nothing
that I've seen...
But then again I didn't search through 7 years of posts to
make my point either...
Regards,
Eric
