I know this has been discussed at length previously, but for the benefit of those newcomers who might not be aware, I will say it again : I also encountered this webpage during my first days as a meteorite collector. I was doing my homework and combing the search engines for more information about NWA meteorites and the meteorite market in general. I read the claims and enjoyed the cartoon illustrations that accompanied the essay. But, I was very suspect of the author's claims because there were apparent contradictions in the work and the claims being made were very broad and sweeping in nature. So, I proceeded to ask some veteran meteorite collectors and dealers about this issue. I discussed this NWA issue with several long-time meteorite personalities, in private, and in a candid way. I will not mention names, but surely some of them are reading this and might recall those discussions. The general consensus amongst people who have more experience and credibility than the Pelissons, is that these claims are unfounded. In addition, there is an agenda at work behind these claims, and that agenda is obviously not rational and is counter-productive in all ways. The Pelissons are not helping science or the meteorite world at large - they are only trying to help themselves. And the reason they do not remove this webpage, despite plentiful evidence that their claims are baseless, is because they actually believe their own propaganda. One would have better luck convincing a termite not to eat wood. I do not think the Pelissons are members of this list, or if they are, they do not post. I would welcome them to come and explain their claims and back them up, here on the list. But I don't think they would receive a supportive audience here.
