Damn Matteo,

Why in the world do you find it necessary to point out the obvious? Anyone on 
this list that sees these absurdities can make their own instant judgments as 
you do. Crazy as it is, isn't it prudent to reserve comment? You sure made an 
example of your contradictory self with your reactionary posts concerning the 
new fall announcement. Your rude criticism of Mr. Aziz is a typical example.

 Dear List,
 My message was taken out of context in that I
 cannot confirm what Mr. DeRusse has or does not have.
 I did write what was written as stated; but this is
 NOT any confirmation that Mr. DeRusse is doing
 science.  I merely stated that sometimes for science
 to make big advances the scientists must think outside
 of the Box. Science deals with facts and not wishful
 thinking or dreams.
In science if we have a new theory it is the duty of
 the researcher to PROVE his/her case with FACT, step
 by step.  It is not the duty of science to disprove
 someone's belief.  The burden of proof lies on the
 person making the claim.  dirk ross...tokyo

For the new moroccan fall I am not the unique to have doubts to care, I have 
received many emails in private where many say this fall is many many 
strangeimmeditaly classificated when for have a analysis you have to

Dear Jonathan and Fellow Listees:
Jonathan, yes you are absolutely right. It is very odd and nobody else 
understands their site either because their site is nonsense.

I would like all my fellow List members to be made aware of something 
important: These BCC Meteorites characters filed an actual lawsuit 
against a number of prominent, respected and very well-liked senior 
meteoriticists here in the U.S (one of whom is a personal friend of mine). 
The suit was -- of course -- thrown out by the judge for being utterly 
frivolous. It's just too bad these clowns weren't heavily fined for 
wasting court time.

BCC Meteorites seems to believe that there's some kind of high-level 
conspiracy/cover-up going on between NASA and major meteoritical 
institutions -- all because BCC Meteorites have been told (nicely and 
repeatedly) that the junk items they dig out of their bog, or whatever, in 
Texas are not actually fossilized alien brains, UFO warp core spare parts, 
Lunar meteorites, Dick Tracy wrist watch radios, etc., but just plain old 
dull terrestrial rocks. I think we all enjoy a good eccentric, and the 
whole thing would have been somewhat amusing in a Benny Hill sort of way 
if these guys hadn't been really nasty to some really nice people during 
their imaginary scientific journey.

We have our squabbles on the List from time to time, but we are all united 
in our interest in the SCIENCE of meteoritics. The 
technobabble/gobbledygook pseudo-science offered up on the BCC 
Meteorites website -- and written, I might add, in appalling elementary 
school English so laden with spelling errors and grammatical mistakes that 
you couldn't follow their argument even if it *were* sound -- should not 
be allowed promotion here on the Meteorite List. Novice collectors, still 
learning about meteorites, might be hoodwinked into believing some of the 
fatuous claims that are made on the BCC website.

So, I strongly suggest that we -- as a community -- block the email 
addresses of these guys DeRusse and Cutler immediately and permanently. 
They just want attention, and the best way to eradicate this kind of fake 
science rubbish is to ignore the perpetrators entirely. They'll likely get 
bored and wander off to some UFO conspiracy theory/Creationist mailing 
list of which -- unfortunately -- there are probably several. A request 
from a few of you to List Moderator Art Jones ( 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ) to have them removed from the List wouldn't 
hurt either.

Oh, and BTW, if you look at the first photo on their website, the guy with 
the white gloves looks like Dr. No.   : )

	I would like respond to Mr. Notkin. Mr. Notkin you prove that if you 
wnat to get your facts straight you have to go to the source. Yes we did 
file a lawsuit sometime back against numerous individuals when we 
discovered they interfering with some others we were working with on the 
meteorite project. Its a well known fact that certain individuals have 
been operating against us.
	You obviously were lied to by your friend we sued. WE filed a motion to 
dismiss the lawsuit after two of the defendants agreed to complete their 
contracts with us. WE did it, no Judge dismissed anything. We filed a 
motion to dismiss without prejudice that means we can go back at 
anytime. Do you understand that? We instructed the Assistant Attorney 
General to draft it up, we signed it and filed it once two of the 
defendants came forward to spill the beans. We that means us Mr. Notkin.
	Now as far the samples, and being told nicely about anything. First of 
all if the samples were not authentic why would UT try to steal the ones 
that were in left in the lab with them? It was not until we blew the 
whistle on them that this controversy began to get out of hand. If you 
think that all scientists are honest and do not lie, cheat, and steal, 
having same, similar or different motives, Mr. Notkin I have news for

Dear Mr. DeRusse,
  I have been doing research since 1980.  But, my last
research was last year at Yamaguchi University in
Japan.
  I have read most of your writings on the internet.
You certainly are an educated person.  I can
understand your wish for students and scientists to
think outside of the box.  I agree with you on this
point.  I always ask and demand my students to think
independently so that science can advance what is
known.
  I apologize for my initial judgement about you
before knowing more about the whole story. Keep up
your search for fact.  About truth, I leave that for
God.   Sincerely, Dirk Ross...Tokyo

Matteo;
We think your implying that we fabricated any email from Dirk Ross is 
preposterous and absurd. We have no reason to fabricate analytical data, 
emails or anything from anyone for that matter. I suppose you think we 
fabricated the email below from Dr. Oliver Manuel to Bill Cutler in 
which he agrees with us and welcomes some measure of controls on rogue 
scientists? Is that what you think? We realized the level of absurdity 
from you and many others when you endlessly debated whether a meteorite 
fall is hot to the touch back in 2002. You guys endlessly debated this 
issue and some trained scientists even weighed in on the issue but only 
served to cloud it. Since ya'll never settled it let me tell you the 
heat generated by a meteorite fall is proportional to the metal content. 
That is to say the higher the metal content the hotter to the 
touch.duh. That means that stony meteorites will only be warm to the 
touch whereas iron-nickel meteorites will be hot. Good luck and stop 
being so absurd and preposterous.

From Dr. Oliver Manuel;
Thanks, Bill, for the message.
I wish NASA's new policy might correct the problem.
Science rests on one of the oldest spiritual truths, e.g. from the
Upanishads, Truth is victorious, never untruth.
It appears NASA officials mistakenly believed for decades that good
PR (public relations) is more important than truth.
NASA held the purse strings and misconduct from NASA spread into
peripheral organizations.
For example, how much NASA money, how many pages of MAPS and GCA, and
how many hours of Lunar Science Conference time has been devoted to
questionable but flashy discoveries like AN ALPHABET OF NEONS (Ne-A,
Ne-B, Ne-C, Ne-D, Ne-E, etc.), SUPER-HEAVY ELEMENTS, INTERSTELLAR
DIAMONDS, STAR DUST, etc. while more mundane explanations (MASS
FRACTIONATION, LOCAL ELEMENT SYNTHESIS, etc.) were ignored and/or
excluded from publication?
What is the result?
1. NASA - the world's premier space agency - failed to appreciate
that samples from the Apollo mission clearly revealed severe mass
separation in the Sun.  There is little doubt about this conclusion.
See Composition of the Solar Interior: Information from Isotope
Ratios
http://www.umr.edu/~om/abstracts2002/soho-gong2002.pdf
http://www.umr.edu/~om/abstracts2002/soho-gong2002.ps
2.  NASA - the world's premier space agency - failed to appreciate
that the Galileo probe into the atmosphere of Jupiter confirmed that
material there is unlike that in the Sun.  See Ken Windler's report
on strange xenon isotopes in Jupiter.
 http://www.umr.edu/~om/abstracts2001/windleranalysis.pdf
In 1983 we noted that the Galileo mission to Jupiter would find
strange xenon there, if we were correct in concluding that the Sun
is iron-rich from the Apollo mission to the Moon [Solar abundance of
the elements, Meteoritics 18, 209-222].
NASA's engineering has been great, but its science has been a dismal
failure.  Unfortunately, scientific journals share some of the blame.
With kind regards,
Oliver K. Manuel

Matteo;
We think your implying that we fabricated any email from Dirk Ross is 
preposterous and absurd. We have no reason to fabricate analytical data, 
emails or anything from anyone for that matter. I suppose you think we 
fabricated the email below from Dr. Oliver Manuel to Bill Cutler in which 
he agrees with us and welcomes some measure of controls on rogue 
scientists? Is that what you think? We realized the level of absurdity from 
you and many others when you endlessly debated whether a meteorite fall is 
hot to the touch back in 2002. You guys endlessly debated this issue and 
some trained scientists even weighed in on the issue but only served to 
cloud it. Since ya'll never settled it let me tell you the heat generated 
by a meteorite fall is proportional to the metal content. That is to say 
the higher the metal content the hotter to the touch.duh. That means 
that stony meteorites will only be warm to the touch whereas iron-nickel 
meteorites will be hot. Good luck and stop being so absurd and 
preposterous.

From Dr. Oliver Manuel;
Thanks, Bill, for the message.
I wish NASA's new policy might correct the problem.
Science rests on one of the oldest spiritual truths, e.g. from the
Upanishads, Truth is victorious, never untruth.
It appears NASA officials mistakenly believed for decades that good
PR (public relations) is more important than truth.
NASA held the purse strings and misconduct from NASA spread into
peripheral organizations.
For example, how much NASA money, how many pages of MAPS and GCA, and
how many hours of Lunar Science Conference time has been devoted to
questionable but flashy discoveries like AN ALPHABET OF NEONS (Ne-A,
Ne-B, Ne-C, Ne-D, Ne-E, etc.), SUPER-HEAVY ELEMENTS, INTERSTELLAR
DIAMONDS, STAR DUST, etc. while more mundane explanations (MASS
FRACTIONATION, LOCAL ELEMENT SYNTHESIS, etc.) were ignored and/or
excluded from publication?
What is the result?
1. NASA - the world's premier space agency - failed to appreciate
that samples from the Apollo mission clearly revealed severe mass
separation in the Sun.  There is little doubt about this conclusion.

2.  NASA - the world's premier space agency - failed to appreciate
that the Galileo probe into the atmosphere of Jupiter confirmed that
material there is unlike that in the Sun.  See Ken Windler's report
on strange xenon isotopes in Jupiter.
 http://www.umr.edu/~om/abstracts2001/windleranalysis.pdf
In 1983 we noted that the Galileo mission to Jupiter would find
strange xenon there, if we were correct in concluding that the Sun
is iron-rich from the Apollo mission to the Moon [Solar abundance of
the elements, Meteoritics 18, 209-222].
NASA's engineering has been great, but its science has been a dismal
failure.  Unfortunately, scientific journals share some of the blame.

I would like respond to Mr. Notkin. Mr. Notkin you prove that if you 
wnat to get your facts straight you have to go to the source. Yes we did 
file a lawsuit sometime back against numerous individuals when we 
discovered they interfering with some others we were working with on the 
meteorite project. Its a well known fact that certain individuals have 
been operating against us.
You obviously were lied to by your friend we sued. WE filed a motion 
to dismiss the lawsuit after two of the defendants agreed to complete 
their contracts with us. WE did it, no Judge dismissed anything. We filed 
a motion to dismiss without prejudice that means we can go back at 
anytime. Do you understand that? We instructed the Assistant Attorney 
General to draft it up, we signed it and filed it once two of the 
defendants came forward to spill the beans. We that means us Mr. Notkin.
Now as far the samples, and being told nicely about anything. First 
of all if the samples were not authentic why would UT try to steal the 
ones that were in left in the lab with them? It was not until we blew the 
whistle on them that this controversy began to get out of hand. If you 
think that all scientists are honest and do not lie, cheat, and steal, 
having same, similar or different motives, Mr. Notkin I have news for 
you, you too

Mr. DeRusse, what is the deal, let's get it out in the open right now.
You seem to think that the entire world is conspiring against you to deny 
you the fame and fortune of owning the moon and mars ranch.
Why?
For a conspiracy, the people (scientists) must gain something from it.
No one seems to gain anything from conspiring against you.
Why do you keep this up? You stones are not meteorites, SIMPLE.
Now please leave the meteorite world alone and find another list to debate 
your treasures on.
Get a life.

General to draft it up, we signed it and filed it once two of the

when you dismiss without prejudice you can NOT refile at any time, you still 
have to take action within the statute of limitations, likely 5 years 
depending on what jurisdiction you are in.

last time i checked attorney generals represent the state, NOT private 
parties in civil suits.

i dont know who you are or what this is about, but the quoted post seems to

i dont need to know who you are or what this is about to make the statement 
i did. if we are tlaking about a legal action in the american court system, 
it's agains the law for an attorney for the state to do anything beyond 
filing a freind of the court petition in civil matters. it's quite simply 
impossible that an assistant attorney general would file a motion in a civil 
suit. perod. if you would like to cite a case number and and prove me wrong, 
please by all means do. furthermore cases that are dismissed without 
prejudice still fall underther the law with regards to statutes of 
limitations for your jurisdiction. this is simple law my friend, it's not 
something that would be particular to any individual case.

x-richfixedJonathan posted:

 I'm back on the list. What is BCC meteorites about? I have heard a 
lot about it and read their site but I still don't understand. Odd.

Dear Jonathan and Fellow Listees:
Jonathan, yes you are absolutely right. It is very odd and nobody 
else understands their site either because their site is nonsense.

I would like all my fellow List members to be made aware of something 
important: These BCC Meteorites characters filed an actual lawsuit 
against a number of prominent, respected and very well-liked senior 
meteoriticists here in the U.S (one of whom is a personal friend of 
mine). The suit was -- of course -- thrown out by the judge for being 
utterly frivolous. It's just too bad these clowns weren't heavily 
fined for wasting court time.

BCC Meteorites seems to believe that there's some kind of 
high-level conspiracy/cover-up going on between NASA and major 
meteoritical institutions -- all because BCC Meteorites have been 
told (nicely and repeatedly) that the junk items they dig out of 
their bog, or whatever, in Texas are not actually fossilized alien 
brains, UFO warp core spare parts, Lunar meteorites, Dick Tracy wrist 
watch radios, etc., but just plain old dull terrestrial rocks. I 
think we all enjoy a good eccentric, and the whole thing would have 
been somewhat amusing in a Benny Hill sort of way if these guys 
hadn't been really nasty to some really nice people during their 
imaginary scientific journey.

We have our squabbles on the List from time to time, but we are all 
united in our interest in the SCIENCE of meteoritics. The 
technobabble/gobbledygook pseudo-science offered up on the BCC 
Meteorites website -- and written, I might add, in appalling 
elementary school English so laden with spelling errors and 
grammatical mistakes that you couldn't follow their argument even if 
it *were* sound -- should not be allowed promotion here on the 
Meteorite List. Novice collectors, still learning about meteorites, 
might be hoodwinked into believing some of the fatuous claims that 
are made on the BCC website.

So, I strongly suggest that we -- as a community -- block the email 
addresses of these guys DeRusse and Cutler immediately and 
permanently. They just want attention, and the best way to eradicate 
this kind of fake science rubbish is to ignore the perpetrators 
entirely. They'll likely get bored and wander off to some UFO 
conspiracy theory/Creationist mailing list of which -- unfortunately 
-- there are probably several. A request from a few of you to List 
Moderator Art Jones ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) to have them 
removed from the List wouldn't hurt either.

Oh, and BTW, if you look at the first photo on their website, the guy 
with the white gloves looks like Dr. No.   : )
