Michael, read the email below, it is the one where I made the offer, tell me
what it says, please.
It is intire, no editing, or you can go into the archives, your choice, it
clearly states the price ar "around $2 gram" Not exactly $2. That implies
that the price was not exactly set yet. I would also like to remind you that
you have many times in the past acted up on the list, when your name was in
question like mine was, do you find that you can do it but I have no right
to? If so then that is an interesting point of view. While I clearly admit
that both of our actions were well below par, it is still the same as all
the other dribble out there when people go at it, either the price wars or
the Dean Nakhla dog. As a member of the list, I accept what comes on it, or
else I can simply unsubscribe.
I want you to read that email, and tell me what you think it says, then we
will make a deal.
Mike
"Well, I is time for me to jump in here and rain on Dean Bessy's parade. I
also have a substantial amount of this fall on the way via DHL as I type
here! DEan DOES NOT have it all, or even close to HALF as he so states and
is so full of bullshit, that I cant keep quiet here any longer. I will have
the materail for sale next week, and I plan to offer it around $2 gram! Now
Dean, how in the hell do you justify selling material that you paid less
than $1 gram for for $15 to $20 gram, it is a chondrite anc a nice one, but
nevertheless, you DUMP (using your own words) rare material like it was a
happy meal. Then for this fall you try to manipulate the market with more
lies and self-reithous statements of self grandure. You are not crap when it
comes to North Africa. Your one seller has you by the balls and feeds you
what you want to hear, You my friend are the laughing stalk of Morocco. It
is about time you learned it.

Anyway, the point is folks, that you can pay Dean his "Good Deal" price of
$15 gram, or wait one week and pay me $2 gram, your choice.

Thanks Dean, Payback is a sunofabitch isnt it? By the way, you need to stop
talking about me, it gets back to me, every word you say, and right now I am
more than a little pissed you asshole!!!#_at_#@#
