   Is he doing ANY field collecting? If not, I'd say a big fat zero! Is he a
meteorite expert? Does he do field collecting? Or does he sit in a lab and
do research on them? If that's the case he probably can thank some of you
guys for finding his specimens! We don't know much about the guy yet do we?
Except that he's into some controversial subjects...I.E. Paranormal type stuff. 
But it DOES sound like he needs to realize that without the hunters they
wouldn't have a LOT of what they DO have now. It seems he feels the hunters
keep it ALL and that's just flat out WRONG right? Of coarse!
