Jim, This is one of the issues that has lead to my self-resignation from the IMCA (mostly I cannot justify spending $25 bucks to an organization that will not openly post their financial statement yearly as I have openly requested now for years- this speaks volumes to me about honesty and authenticity). I do not need a "seal of approval" from the organization to show that I am honest or knowledgeable about meteorites. The "Mifflin Case" is but a tip of the iceberg of substituted meteorites that I am aware of but there is no "proof" as in scientific analysis. Please NOTE the "Mifflin Case" was not even cracked by a then member of the IMCA (although aided). Sincerely, Dirk Ross....Tokyo
This post should be taken as a public resignation as a "Member in Good Standing" from the IMCA. Dirk Ross 9MAY2011 Do not get me wrong; there are many fine members in the IMCA and Authenticity IS most important but handing out "sales licences" to many under-experienced new members IS not working and should NOT be the function of the IMCA. --- On Mon, 5/9/11, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > From: [email protected] <[email protected]> > Subject: [meteorite-list] sick of people pussyfooting around the scammers for > fear of litigation > To: [email protected] > Date: Monday, May 9, 2011, 7:50 PM > suppose we can only protest with > where we decide to buy from but there > is a wider issue here with the IMCA > This leaves a really dirty taste in my mouth.... > > into the void with another email > ______________________________________________ > Visit the Archives at > http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html > Meteorite-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list > ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
