We have yet to see an enforcement of list policies in both the IMCA and this list, concerning a person that has had such a negative impact on this hobby, as well as the science it represents. Moderator's.. do your duty and get it over with.

I think everyone should be thanking Mike Farmer for bring this information to light. I haven't seen the "proof" personally, but I have to believe that Mike wouldn't have made the claims he did without having verifiable and undisputable evidence. Everyone in the meteorite community wants...no, make that "demands" that all dealers to be fair and honest - after all, wasn't that one of the reasons that the IMCA was formed? It will be interesting to see if the IMCA follows Ebays lead and removes the dishonest dealer/collector from among it's ranks. I'm certain that many list members will be watching the outcome of this issue.
