Re: [meteorite-list] thanks for the recomendations - Now I'm Annoyed

2003-01-13 Thread Jeff Kuyken

Hi Steve,

I really hope that you are sincere with this latest 'apology'! I was just
searching the web using Google for information and possible sale items for a
rarer meteorite and found the top 2 hits were from the Meteorite List
Archives, (which is often the case).

I clicked on the first only to find it was just one of your spams trying to
get another rare meteorite. The second? Another separate email asking for
the same thing a few days later!!! Please! Enough is enough!

I hope that you are able to find more fulfillment in your growing collection
and all the other great things that go with the hobby; such as this list!
The year is still young, so plenty of time to make it a good one!

Cheers,

Jeff Kuyken

Steve,
 
   We, your colleagues on this list, have heard this 
before.  I hope for ALL our sakes (especially yours) you become successful 
in getting on the right track as you have proposed.
 
  
Steve, ponder this just to yourself. Do you REALLY appreciate these rocks from 
space for what they truly are - scientific treasures each and every one of them? 
Or are they just chattel to you - to be bought, traded and forgotten. I too once 
thought of getting into the "business", but I cannot bring myself to part with 
any of my collection...they are just too precious to me. EACH of them is a 
link to occurances in the distant past of the solar system that we can only try 
to devine through science. To hold each one is to connect with the Universe in a 
way that is not possible through any other means.
 
Of 
course you can do whatever you want with your collection, but you can do so in 
private or through other means as many have suggested without causing undue 
attention to be brought upon yourself via this List. Think about it Steve and 
let your actions speak far louder than your words on this List have done so far. 

 
I wish 
you well in this worthy personal endeavour.
 
All 
the best,
Greg RedfernIMCA #5781www.meteoritecollectors.org

  Good evening list. I'll try and keep it short. I guess when you let the 
  horse out of the barn, it is stupid to go and close the barn door. Well I want 
  to thank all the decent people who have emailed me about my constant posting 
  of reposting. From now on Iam going to take the advise of all who have gone on 
  before in this great hobby, to think what I am doing before it becomes a 
  habitual nightmare of never ending posts of nothing. Thank you all for the 
  "smart " emails to help guide me and make me think before I act. When I look 
  back at all the same repeats, it boggles my mind why I did it. Well it is a 
  new year, and I guess I just needed to be told and learn, and go from there. 
  Thanks again for getting me back on track.

Steve and List,

Somehow Steve, I really don't think you have got the message. The good folks
here on the list have been ever so patient, and yet you continue. Please go
back Steve and carefully re-read the recents posts regarding your "trades",
etc. It does seem that you view meteorites and micro-sections that you
obtain, no more than a commodity, or a collectable---like baseball cards. If
that is all there is to your collecting, well...that's sad. One might just as
well buy and sell gold or silver bullion.

I have looked back into the archives of this list server and did you know
Steve that your VERY FIRST posting was a brief introduction as to who you
were, and then you ended your post with some kind of offer for a trade or you
were looking to buy specimens. Rememberthis was your very first post.
It's almost been non-stop since. I also have scanned just about all of your
previous posts, and could only find approximately 5 postings where you
requested information regarding the science of meteorites. For the most part,
your postings are solicitations for trades, sales and so forth. I was also
however, a bit taken aback from your earlier posting is that you are an
aggresive person, and would not change for anyone...it's who you are, etc;
etc. That kind of post won't exactly endure yourself to many on this list,
other than the "likeminded" aggresive individuals.

You state you want to be really liked by members of this list, but what have
you done to obtain / earn that status? Continued spam-like ads isn't the
ticket. And now you seemed to have made some sort of declaration of not
wanting to change behavior. Is that the true nature of who you are? I really
do hope you will re-read the earlier posts, and possibly gain some insight. I
really believe you could offer some good information regarding your
collection, and so forth.

I just hope there will be a few remaining members of this list, willing to
hear it.
