Rick, No need to be jousting here. Mike is a straight rider in the
meteorite world and has a track record that is so long in successful meteorite
recovery efforts that a wizard might faint or get dizzy looking at it all at the
same time. I think he is calling the emperor as naked as he sees him. Merlin
certainly would have been nicer to Mike. Your email just registered quite
high on his bogometer.

Meanwhile, and in the most respectful manner, your Christmas timed email has
got to be the saddest inquiry I have ever seen in this community (except
those that have no choice but to use on-line translators). Perhaps you feel
that a tight-knit cyber group should roll out Camelot's red carpet and Sir
Gawain should give you the honors your visit merits. At face value, you are
expressing yourself in the chivalric tradition the English of King Arthur's Court
by commencing the Treasure Hunt with this fanfare. I don't have foggiest
idea what this is all about, sadly. I was frustrated to find no information
whatsoever on your web page - except a nice graphic of Excalibur that was a dead
end link offering to get on an email list providing you with email addresses
of the curious. So, I am sure you are really a great person with a great
concept, because you have great fantasies. By Guenevere, I hope you succeed in
realizing them.

Perhaps you can re-phrase your treasure hunt inquiry when it is extended
elsewhere. It seemed to indicate that you want to purchase a prize that could
be appraised for a certain amount but purchased for much less. That smacks of
dishonesty to me, and clearly can be seen as a little repulsive to someone
who puts their life into making a successful recovery of such a specimen, such
as Mike's business. If the treasure hunt has a prize stated to have a
certain value, I would urge you to be fair with you acquisitions in your awards to
the participants, no matter what those prizes might be. A business
appraisal, should be unbiased and not open to manipulation or doubt. A million
dollars is a relative term, why not make the treasure hunt for 100,000 total and
look for 10,000 prizes. And I don't think you are spamming or stealing from
anyone; just think you're a little innocent in your approach. Hopefully
innocent and rich:) Anyway, Merry Christmas; May God hold you in the palm of his
hand and may a meteorite's fall herald in your New Year.
Doug

What is really upsetting is to slander to the company and me. I can live
with the poor writing jokes but to say that I'm scammming or trying to
cheat people out of money is slander and maybe I will entrain the idea of
some lawsuits with an lawyer.
