  Hello again Mike and List,

  You do not know anything about our expeditions because we have learned =
to keep our mouth shut about promising leads after you took the Thuathe =
data from our Tucson room and ran with it, get your own leads. The =
reason we took over the expeditions in Morocco is because when we =
invested in you the good find to poor find ratio was getting worse and =
worse. Do not forget who plowed huge amounts of capitol into your =
expeditions while we were busy running a multi-million dollar =
organization. Mike, you need to be careful about what you say and what =
you do. If you simply did not comment on everything we post in public =
then we would not have to respond in public. I do not want to escalate =
this any further because I have been dragged into your arguments too =
many times. If you have a problem, you need to respond off list and we =
will do the same. =20

  All the Best,

  Adam and Greg =20

    Oh yeah Adam, I am sooooo worried about my ebay stats. I have been =
on ebay for 6 years, you have been for little over one year.=20
    Give me a break, aren't you tiring of your relentless and totally =
bogus self-promotion yet? Reading your Kenya article almost made me =
puke.=20
    I love the part about how the Dave contacted you about your long =
history of meteorite expeditions. Too bad that is bullshit.=20
    The first meteorite expedition you ever did was with Me, I took Greg =
to Morocco, hen then rushed right back over there to buy out from under =
me from the contacts I introduced him to. =20
    you have been to Africa one time Adam, so please, how do you go =
about promoting yourself as such a huge adventurer? I have had alot of =
emails and calls about this.=20
    Do you not think that you are overdoing the promoting a little?=20

      Hello Mike and List,

      Since you had to comment publicly, I will respond publicly. Your =
repeat customer status is 2.76:1 if you care, a very simple calculation. =
 If you are in business this should be of major concern.

      All the best,
