Everyone cross your fingers for me today I am sawing
off a piece of my rock to see the inside. Not knowing
what I might of had everyone laugh at me I had
scrubbed the rock with Dawn dish washing liquid and
and a vegetable scouring brush. I thought I was
getting creek crud off the rock at the time I had not
even thought of fusion crust! LOL Then I took it an
threw it out in my yard because I did not see any
fossils in it. I kept it because it was a heavy
bugger and unlike any others I had from this area.

By the way, I do not mind the public outbursts and
name calling. I am new to the group and thus just
beginning to learn. Now I know that all you old
timers to the list are probably rolling your eyes
heavenward, but hang with me and hear me out.

Seeing some people making arses of themselves on here
allows me to realize who I would like to do business
with and not do business with. I will learn who to
ignore and not ignore. And yes, these things are
important to learn as expand my rock collection to
include meteorites.

What I have come to realize the more and more I read
about meteorites is the collection of great minds that
have come together here. Granted great minds working
in the field will clash, anyone who is unable to see
this is not in my personal opinion of great
intelligence themselves.

Also standing around b!tching about others having a
dispute on the list is in no way going to make this
group look any better either or help to resolve the
issues that inflamed someone.

Also I have never not once had a ton of junk mail
because I subscribed to this list. If this is
happening to you perhaps you should subscribe in the
daily digested form instead of the individual emails.

I stand back looking at this large group of really
interesting people and still think this is a great
group in spite of a few flaws.

Basically, I am happy just to be here. Anyone who
doesn't feel the same need not gripe just unsubscribe.
