Enjoy what?

Some idiot pretenting to be that person and tarnishing some ones reputation,
that is no having fun.
I believe it is pure jealousy.
Poor little man couldn't find a meteorite, probably never have and is
jealous about the ones who have.
So you Sterling enjoy it - guess as long some one is not making you the
fool.
