Hello Mike and List Members,

I did not mention anybody's name in my posting. I did mention that we
purchased from a buyer in the field. As far as real meteorite hunters go
who told you about Thuathe and Bensour in the first place? Where did you
get the coordinates? Did you realize you put other peoples life in danger
by paying too high a price in Thuathe. You turned a nice village into
something off limits for people who paid 30% of what you paid making it
looked like everybody else cheated them. If you really went into the
disputed zone one month after the fall to get Bensour (provisional working
name provided by us) why haven't you reported the coordinates? Mike, unlike
you tell everybody you are not the next Robert Haag, not even close. Robert
found his own leads and pursued them like a true pioneer taking all the real
risks.

Why is that you have the urge to attack everybody? First it was your
partner Capser. Yes, that is right you partnered with Casper at the Tucson
show. Is this where you learned this behavior? Then you attacked Dean
Bessey on a regular basis, then Mateo and now me. Mike these unprovoked
attacks do more harm than good. Why don't you put all of your negative
energy into writing articles promoting meteoritics instead of blasting
everybody around you. This will be one of last times you engage me in this
worthless dialog. Everybody will know soon enough what you are really about
so I really have nothing more to say right now.

Sorry for the waste of bandwidth,

Best Regards,

Adam
