Hello All,

Someone posted earlier wondering if Joel had rejoined the list. This fellow
reminds me more of dear old Mr. Frasse from a few years back.

For those of you not familiar with Mr. Frasse, he was the person that was
offering Martian insects on Ebay two or three years ago. He claimed he had
found a meteorite from Mars (which was really just a common piece of basalt)
which housed several insects from that planet in the many vugs in the
surface. One of these insects was a winged ant which he named "Wingy" and
offered on Ebay with an opening bid of $200,000 or so.

The story is rather long and involved, but it provided many of us a lot of
humor over a period of time. I won't clog up the list with any further
details but if anyone else would like to reminisce about these events we
might all get a few chuckles out of them again.

It was very obvious that Mr. Frasse was sincere in his claims and I can see
that this fellow from Deming, NM is just as convinced about his. Both of
these people could probably find a solution at the following website:

Best to All,

John

YOU ARE VERY QUICK TO JUMP ON THE STOMPING BAND WAGON WITHOUT KNOWING ALL
THE FACTS. I DON'T KNOW YOU AND DO NOT REALLY WANT TO, AFTER YOUR COMMENTS.
I REPLYED TO MY SHONER WITH THE FOLLOWING;
HELLO MR. SHONER,
I SAW YOUR 'S AND MR. COTTINGHAMS AND OTHERS POST ON METEORITE CENTRAL. I
FULLY EXPECTED TO BE RIDICULED ABOUT WHAT I TOLD YOU. IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME A
BIT BECAUSE I KNOW I'M RIGHT. YOU'R ONLY GOING TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK WORSE
WHEN THE TRUTH COMES OUT.I DID NOT THINK FOR A MINUTE MR. COTTINGHAM WOULD
MAKE THE STATEMENTS HE DID. I'M SORRY YOU PEOPLE FEEL THE WAY YOU DO, BUT
SCORN FOR TRUTH IS PRETTY COMMON THESE DAYS. YOU MAY POST THIS IF YOU LIKE.
IT IS ONLY FAIR, AFTER WHAT YOU SAID. I WILL SHOW ANYONE WITH SKILLS IN
METEORITE IDENTIFICATION SOME OF WHAT I HAVE FOUND IF THEY WILL COME TO
DEMING AND BRING A 4-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE AND PLAN TO SPEND ABOUT FOUR HOURS
IN THE FIELD. PLEASE CALL FIRST AT 1/505/544/7202. BEST WISHES,
                                                   : Arthur
