[meteorite-list] Credit where credit is due
Dear List, Firstly, I would like to add, with Tom Web , my support and Prayers to Steve Shoner, and Family, at a time in his lifetime of Meteorite dedication , that just for once, recognises and gives credit for all the possitive things he has done for this community . How many of us would have the dedication to continue checking rock samples , just after almost dying and fighting ADEM handicapping, requiring therapy, ect? How many of us would listen to what everybody seemed to want at the time, because of all the Ad's they were griping about taking up band-width ( read your archives!). We griped, and sick as he is, he tried to give us what most, thought WE wanted, to keep the meteorite-list, more of an informational site. So what did alot of us do? We filled the lull that he struggled to clear the list with, with what!? C'mon little meteorite-munching commando's, think? OKay, maybe now, the general concensus is that having given us what we thought we wanted at first, turned out to not be what it was cracked up to be, but that's not because Steve didn't Show us the flip-side, right? I don't recall anyone else jumping in and taking over the task. This is still a Great list, we're still gonna gripe someimes, there are enough dedicated teachers, meteorite hunters/deales/collectors/students to make this site the Best it can be, but big #1, has got to be, going back to Art's format to try at all costs to keep the back-biting OFF-LIST, wherever humanly possible. We can still disagree with each other, (it's called having a personal opinion, exchange of idea's, and theories and expertise), but it doesn't have to get so agressive on personal levels, at least on-list. : ) I've slipped myself a few times . Is it too early for New Years resolutions? oh! and Kuddo's to Steve for going throuh this last year of hell, and never once putting meteorites or us out of sight or mind. I call that, real dedication. Best Regards All, Marcie __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
RE: [meteorite-list] Credit where credit is due
Here Here, and seconded with mod. Read any list thread out there, they are all subject to the same kind of posts that would tear them apart, except for the diligent who see through the flak and understand that the world is made up of every possible type. In order to have a public list, with no bias, everything must be tolerated. You read it or choose not to read it, if you do read it, you like it or you don't...Say you like it or you don't... Some people will usually be on your side, some (the majority) will stay neutral, and some will disagree. So what... This is what makes public PUBLIC and, in this country, it defines our way of life. There are few places in this world where you get this kind of freedom.

[meteorite-list] Credit where credit is due...Concerning Brad Sampson
Folks, Well, I said I would report on my auction results with Brad Sampson, Cosmic Visitors. I had forgotten about the earlier criticisms and complaints about him when I found I had inadvertantly won one of his auctions. I realized only after the auction was over that he was the person that had had so many derogatory comments written about him on the MetCent list. Brad's 'eBay feedback' is not a thing of beauty. It's rather badly speckled with numerous negatives. Anyway, I bit the bullet and sent him the money for the 31g Lost Creek, Kansas, H3.8 slice. I circled a date on my calender to remind me about three weeks later to start the struggle to get my specimen sent to me. The specimen arrived safely at my home 11 days after payment via PayPal. He was no speedburner on the shipment, unlike others in the business that sometimes ship the same day payment is received, but 11 days certainly falls within 'perfectly satisfactory' in my estimation. The slice was well wrapped and packaged. So, no complaints from me. This news will surely be of no consolation to Matteo, but I had said I would report; and so I did. All take care, Jerry/ Odessa __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Credit where credit is due...Concerning Brad Sampson
Hello Probably Sampson go with the time...the same for me, I have sent the payment immediatly via paypal and the 2 slices is arrive after 1 month and + days after my hard request have the pieces or addvise Ebay and Paypal.and surely I have put 2 negative feedbacks for the no good work. The 2 neutrals feedback put from Sampson to me is only a excuse for show he have problems with the email addresses - big liar. Regards Matteo --- Jerry A.

Re: [meteorite-list] Credit where credit is due...Concerning Brad Sampson
I think the only credit due to Brad Sampson is that he does not rip people off all of the time. Brad has still yet to try to resolve the issue I had with him, although he had promised to several times, including once to the list. His reason, when he did reply, was always one, I have heard several list members use. "I lost your e-mail..." In Brad's communication with me was through the list, he also mentioned he spent four hours a day on eBay and the net looking at meteorites. I find it hard that anyone can search eBay for meteorites and not find me. But I'm not Brad. Brad will learn he can only switch e-mails and servers so many times before his past catches up with him.
