Re: [meteorite-list] One Ad Per Week
Sorry you feel I need to apologize to somebody who doesn't follow the rules. I think you have it backwards. In my opinion, it is disrespectful to those who do follow the rules not wanting to lose our advertising privileges. For those who live in the United States, I am sure you are tired of all of the Robocalls demanding that you reelect the president even though these phone calls are illegal. I was woken up by one of these illegal phone calls at 12:30 a.m. in the morning. I am interrupted with at least ten of these illegal phone calls a day since I live in a swing state. It makes me want to vote against the political party that is breaking the law and can't follow the rules! I considering spamming the List the same.

Re: [meteorite-list] One ad per week, one pet per sailor - parrots preferred.
Hello, You are referring to the statement I made, and I reread it and I see that I was not clear. Many years ago, there was not an AD Ban or a 1 Ad a week rule, this was before your time on the list. In those days, a huge amount of ads coincided with a multitude of diverse meteorite topics. It is in my opinion that in the days of many ads, we had better and more serious topics on meteorites than we do today. The topics today are fine, but in the old days they were richer in content. My opinion. The many ads and many better topics have nothing to do with each other THAN they coincided with each other on this list with NO PROBLEM. Until, a small percentage of people whined and complained, until the complaining became THE PROBLEM -NOT THE ADS. Yes Art owns the list, Yes, we owe a great debt of gratitude to Art and many thanks. However, when the day comes that people make someone else the GOD and RULER, not to be challenged or questioned, than that of course is the day when decay begins. All I have asked is for a vote on the issue which concerns 900+ people. I have always thought this was a good idea-since an immense amount of complaining centers around the issue. I will be leaving the list shortly, but the issue will not be resolved by my leaving because your root problem will still be with you. At least my ads will be gone and that should make some of you very happy. Think about it - if there is not a challenge of open discussion (like voting on a topic) than what you have is a no growth situation that leads to decay. My opinion. Yes Art owns the list, Yes, we owe a great debt of gratitude to Art and many thanks. However, to make Art's word or anyones word the final say on a subject. Is insane. History shows that to be true. No worries though, everything is good too. Best Wishes Michael Cottingham On Oct 16, 2009, at 9:07 AM, Galactic Stone Ironworks wrote: Hi List, THE BEST TOPICS. THE BEST CONVERSTION ON METEORITES COINCIDED WITH THE MOST ADS. I respectfully disagree here. I've seen perfectly good questions about meteoritics posted in the past, only to hear crickets and see tumbleweeds in response. More often than not, the preponderance of ads on the list is distracting at best. I adhere to the rule and I expect others to, regardless of how they justify themselves. A $50 sale for me can make the difference between buying groceries or paying a bill, yet I post no more than one ad a week.(admittedly, once or twice in two+ years I have broken this rule) It's incredulous to think that someone with a million dollar collection needs sales so bad that the rules must broken, again and again. I could probably use the sales more than 99% of the rule breakers. When was the last time the big dealers rolled coins to buy gas or groceries? All of this is moot anyway - the only opinion on this issue that matters is Art's. Until he chimes in, all of this discord is pointless. Like someone else said before - contact Art in private and discuss this with him. There are 1000+ people here to learn about meteorites - I would wager that most of them don't care to hear all of this belly-aching over advertisements. Back to my original point - many of the best discussions on this list (in my ~2 years here) have not centered around ads. I can cite examples from the archives, but again - I'm not Art, so who cares? A piece of friendly advice for the anti-ad crowd - use your inbox filters! I haven't seen an ad from any of the rule breakers in months - they go straight to my junk bin.

On the other hand, I am on the list for science information, and on any chance of a Wyoming fall. I buy my meteorites from trusted associates I have known for years and don't need to shop farther than them. I bet better prices from them than these hot sale offers. My finger gets tired of delete, delete, delete delete, HOT SALE DELETE DELETE DELETE AND THIS IS IN MY SPAM BOX, As for the science information goes, I think there is a fair amount of that being posted. The ads haven't crowded them out for me, nor have the science info crowded any of the ads. My god man...if your finger gets tired hitting the delete button, you need to do more than exercising your finger. Try some jumping jacks. :O) I don't shop for the sales...I shop for the bargains, wherever they may creep up at. I've found that if one is patient enuf, a bargain crops up once in awhile. I know what I want and hang in the back ground till I come across the offer. Just because I have a certain amount of money available, doesn't mean I'm gonna spend it foolishly.

Re: [meteorite-list] ONE AD PER WEEK I have an idea!
It's probably a poor analogy, but here goes : If someone wins the Miss America crown, they are expected to behave a certain way in public because that behavior reflects upon the Miss America institution. The same can be said for many organizations whose members interact with the public - they must uphold the expectations placed upon them by their affiliations. Furthermore, public perception often carries more weight than the actions of the person in question. I'm not one of those list members who maintains a tally sheet of who posts how many ads and when - I am not that anal. But when the issue becomes a point of contention in a public forum, those affiliated with the person in question must examine how these behaviors reflect upon the organization as a whole. Chicago Steve was not an IMCA member, AFAIK. I don't know about Mr. Cottingham. Is he a member? If not, then this point of mine is moot. If he is a member, then my original point stands - any organization concerned with it's image should ensure that it's members (representatives to the public) obey all rules of etiquette demanded by a particular venue they choose to participate in. To flaunt the rules not only reflects poorly in the individual doing it, it reflects poorly on any group or organization they represent. That's all I was trying to say. FWIW, I have no personal issue with Mr. Cottingham. He's always been square with me when we have done some minor deals. Seems like a nice guy. But his recent posting of multiple ads in defiance of the rules has caused some bickering on this list and it looks bad - for all concerned, regardless of what explanations are behind it. Perception is often more important than substance - especially when commercial enterprises are concerned.

Re: [meteorite-list] ONE AD PER WEEK I have an idea!
Mike, Your point is moot. Mike Cottingham is not a member of the IMCA. Neither is Steve Arnold (Chicago) and Bill Kies. The Membership List is published on the IMCA website, and regularly updated. You might want to look at it: _http://imca.cc/index.php?option=com_cb_searchtask=usersListItemid=11_ (http://imca.cc/index.php?option=com_cb_searchtask=usersListItemid=11) Thank you. Anne M.

The same can be said for many organizations whose members interact with the public - they must uphold the expectations placed upon them by their affiliations. Furthermore, public perception often carries more weight than the actions of the person in question. I'm not one of those list members who maintains a tally sheet of who posts how many ads and when - I am not that anal. But when the issue becomes a point of contention in a public forum, those affiliated with the person in question must examine how these behaviors reflect upon the organization as a whole. Chicago Steve was not an IMCA member, AFAIK. I don't know about Mr. Cottingham. Is he a member? If not, then this point of mine is moot. If he is a member, then my original point stands - any organization concerned with it's image should ensure that it's members (representatives to the public) obey all rules of etiquette demanded by a particular venue they choose to participate in. To flaunt the rules not only reflects poorly in the individual doing it, it reflects poorly on any group or organization they represent. That's all I was trying to say. FWIW, I have no personal issue with Mr. Cottingham. He's always been square with me when we have done some minor deals. Seems like a nice guy. But his recent posting of multiple ads in defiance of the rules has caused some bickering on this list and it looks bad - for all concerned, regardless of what explanations are behind it. Perception is often more important than substance - especially when commercial enterprises are concerned.

I agree with Dean, the negative vibe on this list has been high.

Let's face it, the list is about communication of information on meteorites. That might be scientific information or sales information. Were all collectors so it's ALL GOOD!

Dean was one of the first dealers to offer beautiful unclassified NWA's for (at the time) unheard of low prices. No where could you get large beautiful meteorites for the price he was asking. It is because of Dean I got hooked on meteorites. Over many years I have purchased over 200 Kg (no kidding) from him and have loved every one. Dean has launched many new meteorite collectors.

Re: [meteorite-list] ONE AD PER WEEK I have an idea!
Hi Tom and List! I am one of those people who has, on occasion, stuck my foot into my considerable mouth here on this list. In some way, I have contributed to the negative atmosphere at times. I have sincerely apologized for those couple of rants I posted and I have tried to maintain a sense of positive decorum since then. Recently I poked fun at Michael Cottingham and his ads with my own parody ad - which I hope was taken in good spirit because there was no hostile intent behind it. But I have to agree here with Tom on the point of group moderation. Whether the venue is a email list or a message board/forum, the moderating should be left to the moderators and/or administrator. Unlike most forum scripts which have a notify moderator button on each post, this list does not have that function. In the future, I suggest that those with complaints about other users should direct those complaints off-list to the offending person in question, or to the list administrator. As for Tom's idea of praising our favorite dealers, I will chime in here I have a lot of favored trading partners, but some have really stood out above the rest in recent weeks - John Humphries (Arizona Johnny) Eric Twelker of Meteorite Market Derik Bower Noah Daleo Greg Catterton Roman Jirasek Rob Wesel Mike Jensen And yes, Dean Bessey - I look forward to opening my latest package from down under. :) There are others I am forgetting, so my apologies to those I have overlooked.

Re: [meteorite-list] ONE AD PER WEEK I have an idea!
Hello all, I take pleasure in contributing to the topic of who are your favorite dealers. My list follows: 1) Dean Bessy: Dean has always given a good product for a very reasonable price. I've never been disappointed with his meteorites. I realize that he mainly deals in NWAs, but I have no problem with that. He has been a gentleman and has worked with me in making the deals smoothly and efficiently. Once again: Dean doesn't charge an arm and a leg for his stuff. 2) Eric Twelker: Another gentleman whose merchandise is also very reasonably priced. Eric has also taken the time to help inform me privately about certain meteorites that I've bought from him. Once again: Eric also doesn't charge an arm and a leg for his stuff. 3) Jack Lacroix: Jack is my best source for Campo Del Cielos (one of my favorite meteorites, cuz they look so cool). His merchandise is top quality and his prices are superb. He also has been very kind to methe novice. Once again: Jack doesn't charge an arm and a leg for his stuff. (Beginning to see a trend here?) 4) Michael Cottingham: Michael has a wide variety of meteorites that are way cool and he has priced many of them within my meager reach. Thanks Michael. He has always sent me my meteorites promptly and I've never been disappointed. One last time: Michael also does not charge an arm and a leg for his stuff. For what it's worth, that's my list.

I don't remember any exceptions written into the one AD per week rule. It's pretty simple and until Art says otherwise it should be respected. A lot of dealers as well as dealers would bury us with mindless garbage and hype if not for this basic guideline. 10 kilo lunar in your attic or not. One AD per week works.

David, If you recall, Art took a poll about this very subject and the vast majority of the List members stated that anything more than one ad per week was excessive. Art then posted the one ad per week rule to the List. It seems that almost everybody honors this rule and it is more than just a gentlemen's agreement. Not honoring this rule when everybody else does is just plan disrespectful. David, Take for instance, the long lines at the Disneyworld zoo where you work in Orlando. If somebody were to take cuts to the front of one of these long lines and damage the air with a methane release right in front of you, most would consider this pretty rude.

Im sure most of us want to know about whats new and don't want to be inconvenienced by some silly one week ad rule. I believe goofy Steve Arnold and his Campos Sales spamfest is what prompted Art to implement the rule. So why not take a chance and post an ad maybe twice a week. Im sure what you have to offer will be exceptional, don't you? Don't worry about the whiners on the list. They are here to stay. Hell, that's what they are here for.

David, Take for instance, the long lines at the Disneyworld zoo where you work in Orlando. If somebody were to take cuts to the front of one of these long lines and damage the air with a methane release right in front of you, most would consider this pretty rude. at disneyworld they have something known as a fast pass (or is it a speed pass) allowing you to cut infront of the line and wait 5 minutes to get on your favorite ride instead of an hour. i'd say that most list members (including the owner) would agree that given the spectacular nature of the photos Mike linked he was just using a fast pass. I for one appreciated the amazing photos of Mike's great new iron. The and you can buy some of it, too part was pretty much an afterthought on it to me (especially since buying any of it is out of the question for me for the forseeable future). (Although it might be fun to make Mike eat the cut in line roach anyway http://wusatv9.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=52629) __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
