How can we trace stuff? Its an amazing thing called technology. You look
at the header of an email, get the IP address, go to www.samspade.org, run
it through that and then use knowledge of the net and IP addresses and it
takes about 2 minutes to figure it all out as long as you know how this
stuff works. Not much work there. And, believe it or not, we were not
doing it so that we could come over there and hunt for our own rocks. Most
people that this was just some sort of an elaborate joke. Apparently not.
I really do wish you the best of luck in finding a real meteorite someday
but for the time being I think the general consensus is correct that you yet
to do so and I wonder what your intentions are when you keep posting to this
list?

It is amazing how you can trace things, are you FBI, CIA, MOSAD,
GISTABOOOO,,, or what?
You are really strange people. You must be some kind of a new meteorite I
have to discover yet!
But it is no secrets you are telling. It is me who published the website and
gave you the link.

Oh I dont know why I replied to such naive emails after I decided not to.
But since I did, I just want to say that others who wrote such irritating
emails are not worth the press of the mouse on the reply botton. They are
not worth any bad word I may say though I am sure it will upset me more when
I say it. I dont get myself down to their level.

With my kind respect to all others on the list, even those who
"misunderstood" me in one way or another.

Mohamed, Robert and All,
Robert is correct! I did a search on "Google" for "DiamondMeteor". Mr.
Yousef has been trying to get buyers to "resrve a piece of this meteorite"
for awhile. ("Google" makes CACHED snapshots.)

He thoughtfully changed his web site just for our benefit. Or perhaps he
just packs up his "tent" by making a slight address changes.
        Mohamed, if "registration and formal classifcation of the meteorite
are underway", why are you asking the List if they are "meteorites?" Is
that how you formally classify them? Did you actually get money for any
"pieces?" I can't say for sure, but it looks like you're blowing your
chance to become an IMCA member....
Still Amazed,
Ken Newton
P.S. Jake, I'll take the board game and the two videos.

I didn't think it was amusing ~a year ago when I first saw this absurd

This is not the fresh excitement of a person with a very looong learning
curve. It is either a very very good practical joke (and kudos to whoever
if it is!) or one of the least impressive people I have ever encountered.
(You should have met the biblical inerancy guy who came by my garage sale
and explained dinosaurs, the nature of the fossil record, human origins, and
his views on planetary atmospheres to me the other day. I was careful not
to encourage him by hinting any interest in the topics so he wound down
after only 20 minutes.)
