Which Rob and Mike are you all talking about? I am not a member of the =
IMCA because when it was created I was traveling often, and had no time. =
Since then I have not heard much about it. There are many mikes on this =
list, please be more specific.

   From M. Blood..

  Rob, Mike & all,
  We all know Rob & Mike are 100% honest & stand by their material.
  Why aren't you guys members? Since, as I understand it, the primary
  purpose of IMCA is to guarentee authenticity, why would anyone NOT be
  a member?=20
  If we aren't all in this togeather, then it is really worthless,
  impotent
  nonsense. (or, maybe I'm missing something - if so, someone please =
tell
  me what it is) =20
  Rob & Mike, I'm listening - tell me the strait poop - perhaps you have
  good reasons, in which case I will bale as well. If not, then let's =
all
  do the
  right thing.=20
  And Rhett, let's not be shy, here, or what's the point.=20
  RSVP
  Best wishes, Michael

  I think this is a very bad ideal. It is not our job or responsibility =
to police or try to control the market. The IMCA is a step and should =
be looked as such. I had the ideal of a dealers award. This could be =
another IMCA step. We could and should look for ways to expand it. =
This is not one of them (I believe).

  I run probley more meteorite auctions on eBay then anyone. I will not =
put any statement in my auctions telling bidders to only buy from IMCA =
members. For several reasons. One that comes to my head is I do not =
agree with all the members on their choice of ethics. =20

  Me and you (Blood) have both had problems with one member that has =
still not sent me a refund promised even in an e-mail to the list (Brad =
Sampson). (Yes Brad I understand, you lost my address the 8th time I =
sent it to you and you cant find my e-mail and couldnt find me in the =
meteorite-list archives). =20

  The IMCA from my understanding...as a member...only promises the =
meteorite is real. So I have no problem with others "ethnics"....the =
moment this changes I will have to see if this is a membership I wish to =
be a part of. =20
