Hi Listees!

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and a
Happy Festivus.

May your stockings be filled with space rocks. :)

Let's keep the bickering off the List, at least until after the holidays.

Many Moroccans are honest dealers. Some Americans are dishonest
dealers. This is a market for rare commodities, and there will always
be bad apples from every group. No group represented on this List is
immune to bad apples.

As for Steve Arnold from Chicago, the list archives is full of
messages that are pro-Steve or anti-Steve. For many people, myself
included, this is enough to prevent me from dealing with him. He
could be the nicest guy in the world, but once the doubts have been
placed in public, they never go away. There are others on this List
who have similar reputations - some of these people are on hiatus (or
have vanished entirely), and others are still operating in the open
here or on eBay. The wise buyer will do their homework on a seller
before making a purchase - so launching a new round of venom on the
List is unnecessary and distasteful.

I wish all of our space rock brothers a happy holiday season -
American, Moroccan, European, Asian, or otherwise.

Best regards, clear skies, and happy huntings,

MikeG

PS - thanks for the continued prayers. My wife is slowly improving
and should be out of the hospital before Christmas. :)
