Ron,

   As one of the gentlemen and established icons of this field, you once
again show the benefits of having wisdom, grace, and the proper words to
express what many of us feel. I too have had the pleasure of dealing with
both and have found them to be honest, reliable, and customer oriented.

   These men are very good at what they do, provide a valuable service to
the community they serve and we lovers of rocks from space, no matter where
they are found or by whom, are better off having them both.

  I have enjoyed doing business with both Dean and Mike and what I read in
these posts seems out of character for each. They both feel passionate
about their businesses and protective of their interests. Discretion is
sometimes the better part of valor, as Dr. Frederick C. Leonard (my
Professor in meteoritics) used to say. Dr. Leonard was one of the founders
of the Meteoritical Society; he and Nininger were colleagues, and on-and-off
friends. Perhaps, few of you are aware that they, at various times, were
at odds with one another, They didn't have meteorite lists to vent their
feelings, but handled their differences in their own polite way. With them
the tension existed because Leonard was strictly an academian and Nininger
commercialized his meteorites. But, in the long run, they both were
meteoriticists and colleagues, and worked for the common good.

  As an investor with Mike, I have always found him to be more than fair and
quite agreeable. I am very pleased and have no complaints. I know how much
he puts into his business. I have also done business with Dean. He has
given me good deals for which I have been pleased.

  Hello Mike; Hello Dean. :=) Keep those NWA's coming! We are all
benefiting from your efforts.

    I would like to ask my investors to post an email here in public to
announce whether they are happy with my trips or not. You have all been
accused of being ripped off, being unhappy with the trips, of saying that
you were angry at me in posts over the last month. I would like for all of
you to email here, not in a bad way but to say in this forum if you are
happy or not with our trips.
    If you do not wish to stand up for me and for yourselves, then I will
gladly invite you out of any further trips. you have all had words put into
your mouths that you did not say. Please take a moment and tell your side to
the list, or else you are allowing other people to say things for you that
you never said.
    If you want this, then I no longer want investors of this caliber
working with me.
    Mike Farmer
    P.S. This does not make you look bad, or is not intended to drag you
into a fight, just to clarify if you are or are not happy with your
investment trips. I would appreciate this as I have been and you have all
been publicly quoted as being unhappy with me and my trips.
    Lets get it finished here and now today.
    Quotes from the Archives
    "But how much did your investors on your other trips cash out with? I
understand that some of you guys are getting sued over those trips."
