I don't know your brother, and I don't recall whatever conversation
you're referring to. I'm not even upset, just amused and enjoying myself
a bit by yanking your chain. You were snide with me for no apparent
reason ("
Please don't try to educate me about hunting for meteorites."), so a bit of
nose-tweaking was in order.
Now, back I go to my place at the oars...
Cheers,
Marc

Hello Marc,
No. We tracked it down and never spent a single minute in the field
actually looking for anything because it didn't seem worthwhile.
I stand by what I said. Since there are no large residential
developments on the valley floor (I think?), I assume that you're
talking about one of the plots on either side of the valley. There's
plenty more land where that came from, and the differences in distance
from the fall-site are negligible, if they exist at all.
And you're still perfectly entitled to your opinion and to poke around
the local scrub
It seems like we've each approached the issue from different
perspectives; you primarily as a hunter looking to track down more of
it, whereas my father took much more of a historical approach, trying
to track down the exact fall location and main mass of the stone. But
we are still hunters, and, having found the site and done some
research, we decided that it was a lost cause. That was our
conclusion, plain and simple.
This isn't some petty territorial crap -- at least not on my end. We
wiped our hands of the fall once we visited the site. If you go and
find another stone, bully to you.
I can only assume that you're being so unpleasant because of the
ridiculous political argument you had with my brother on my
facebook...at least several months ago. He was poking fun; you should
try to get over it. I didn't even remember it until I put two and
two together just now while trying to find an explanation for your
unwarranted nasty comment.
