[meteorite-list] Armando's yearly anti-dealer/collector rant.

Armando, Ingo, I have done more for meteoritics than you can imagine or ever will do yourself. Contact the University of Arizona, UCLA, etc, where you can likely get a list of the hundreds of meteorites I have donated directly to the university and mineral museums, more than $75,000 worth at my

Park Forests without pemit? Please elaborate Matteo. This is the USA, Park Forest belongs to the landowners where it fell. I bought many pieces from the owners, no permit is needed in the United States. Perhaps if you ever left Italy, you would know that. No permist is needed to remove meteorites

I believe that most of the historical meteorites of USA were confiscated by the government, not payed for, by the way. Armando, you're misbelieving. Take e.g. Henry Ward, he made his living in 19.th century in selling artifacts and objects from the domain of science to museums (hence a classic

Armando, please explain to us, how you intended to speak out about my discussions with Matteo? I had not spoken of or emailed Matteo for months. He responded to my posts this morning. So actually, you posted your tirade against me as usual, unprovoked by me. The archinves are there for all to see
