Hello All, Dave Gheesling can't post to the list at the moment, but given the seriousness of the accusation made against Todd Parker, he asked that I post this on his behalf:
His message follows: Hello List, While I haven't seen where Todd Parker's name was mentioned as a "possible scammer" other than in Al Mitterling's recent post (I haven't been closely following the thread), TODD PARKER MOST ASSUREDLY IS NOT A SCAMMER OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT. To the contrary, Todd is probably one of the finest people I've had the pleasure of knowing -- inside or outside of the meteorite community. Presumably this mention has something to do with the recent Mifflin thread, but Todd's name shouldn't be associated with anything other than integrity -- he is a class act, to be sure.
