Another fine example of a happy meteorite collector wanting to share his enthusiasm about his hobby, show some of the outstanding specimens in his collection, and revel in the camaraderie that this fine avocation tends to instill amongst its members." It was then pointed out to me that this fine webpage was perhaps a parody, a 'spoof', if you will. I was aghast! Perhaps I was the 'sucker ' that was born during my particular minute. Makes me wonder if I shouldn't stay away from carnival sideshows. I then thought, "Why would 'Tom Proudest Member Peregrineflier aka James Knudson' publish such a page if some of it might be construed to be downright tawdry and perhaps hurtful of some of his fellow collectors"? While pondering that, an email forwarded by Dave Freeman conveyed a message from 'Tom Proudest Member Peregrineflier aka James Knudson yada, yada, yada', hisself, disclaiming authorship of the webpage. Sonufagun! That twist hadn't occurred to me. The puzzlement deepened as I worked to wrap my mind around the concept that 'Tom Proudest Member Peregrineflier aka James Knudson yada, yada, yada', hisself, might not be the guilty party. It must, therefore, be somebody else. Well, all I can tell you is that after several minutes of deep reflection and consideration on the matter, I think I have narrowed the list of suspects to 3... no, better make that 500 suspects. But I feel certain that with time and due diligence the 'evildoer' will be rooted out and exposed. Or maybe not. It's hard for me to express the utter disappointment I feel that the webpage wasn't truthful and "as represented on the face of it". It was such a great testimonial to the 'world of meteorites' and the many joys associated with it.
