Dear Listees:

I have had extensive dealings with Mr. Jakubowski. He is a geologist,
an IMCA member, and very knowledgeable about meteorites. We have
ourselves made some significant trades. I also sponsored Tomasz for
IMCA membership. I don't for a minute believe he would engage in any
kind of shady trade.

I also think it's in very poor taste to intimate in public that a List
member was involved in something questionable without providing proof.
That sort of thing can damage someone's reputation, and has an odd way
of leading to lawsuits.

Further if this is "and [SIC] IMCA issue" take it up with the IMCA.
This is not the IMCA list. There's a proper way to handle things, and
this isn't it.


Sincerely,

Geoff N.
