I agree whole-heartedly John. I miss Bernd too, as he was the
DataHound/Librarian of our list and he is/will be sorely missed. It's a
shame it came to this to make him leave. However, I don't apologize to
Matteo. He's been inserting his jabs on Americans for a couple of years
now. And that isn't even the issue. The things he complains about, he
is the biggest offender. So, according to Matteo, Robert Verish, Rob
Matson, Nick Gessler and all the other crew are seeding the SW deserts
with NWA's for new finds? There are no other people who keep such
stringent records of their finds....Lat/Long, person who finds it, time
of day, size, weight, classification, leave a marker, etc....need I say
more? The source of these allegations is preposterous. You owe all
these people a big apology. Why is an African desert more prone for
finds than an American one? Why does an Italian salt-water ocean beach
produce such a fresh find? Beats me!
