"Dear Listees:

I thought it might be helpful to mention that Allan and Iris Lang are
on their way home from the 2007 Tucson show, and probably cannot to
reply to posts regarding the auction at this time.

Since Allan has been a respected buyer and seller of meteorites for
more than thirty years, it might be a good idea for anyone with a
legitimate question about the auction to give him the benefit of the
doubt and contact him directly rather than speculating on the M-List. "

Absolutely Geoff,

Anybody at the auction knew about the confusion the auctioneers had with the
absentee bids. If you weren't at the auction then you shouldn't suspect or
suggest there was any foul play ( Leave stuff like that for the idiot
illusionist from Austin, Texas ).
Doesn't make much sense either. The Langs did tremendously well with their
auction, Does it make any sense that they would lie about a theft to make a
few hundred bucks? No, it doesnt.
I have nothing but empathy for the Langs regarding this matter.
If you weren't at the auction then you really have no business making any
accusations.
