Hi Nels, Hello List,

Nel, since you decided to go public with your pricing policy I will address
this in a public forum. I was not complaining about your ridiculously low
price on the new metal-rich diogenite. As a matter of fact I encouraged
collectors to snap it up at the low price and withdrew our material so that
you would have no competition. Unlike you, we pay lab costs to study our
material and provide full sized type specimens therefor raising our costs.
Who do you think provided the money to the University of Washington to study
your NWA 1460, the so-called milted eucrite and about a dozen other
meteorites you purchased from Habibi that were already supposedly sold to
us? I also saved you a good deal of money by telling you the classifications
and pairing status on several of your stones and we are repaid with this
way.

All the best,

Adam
