Yo Doug and all,
            Well, then, Doug, either you are not telling the truth
Or the person who sold the two stones was not telling the truth.
I was part of that auction (as a bidder, not the auctioneer) and
was told these were the circumstances and then the results of the
auction.
        (This was well after you had implied to me you had the
barn stone, yourself firmly and stated it wasn't for sale,
period.)
        This, after I had asked about it twice earlier in about a
3 week period, you SPECIFICALLY stated:

 " Let's try this again - I will clarify it for you. When I last told you
the stone was not going anywhere anytime soon, it was intended
to get to the bottom line: THE STONE IS ABSOLUTELY NOT
FOR SALE. There is nothing more to talk about.
When I said I wasn't interested in talking about it (but if you
insist...) - but was trying to be a nice guy responding to your barrage
of tenacity and insistence, it was because IT IS NOT FOR SALE. The
situation will be the same in Tucson."

            Perhaps I was foolish to read the above as you having the stone
(which I had asked twice), as it certainly sounded like it to me. In fact,
It sounds SO MUCH like that that I can only conclude your intentions
Were, in fact, meant to mislead me into thinking
1) you had it and
2) You were not going to sell it under any circumstances -
NEITHER of which were true. Apparently you thought it would keep
me away from further inquiring in other directions which would leave the
door open for you getting it later. I really don't know any other way to
read your above statements. Otherwise, why not just ORIGINALLY state
"I don't have it?"
 
            So, now is difficult to determine what you mean, exactly when
you state, "Michaels quoted statement is inaccurate" as, once again, you
Evade directness in communicating about the barn stone.
        Now, if my statement regarding the auction of the barn hammer and
the stone that fell at the feet of the witness was inaccurate, perhaps you
would enlighten us SPECIFICALLY as to what, EXACTLY in my statement,
was "not true?"
       Are you saying the two stones were not auctioned off together?
       Are you saying they sold for a different price than I quoted?
       Are you saying the person in the barn is not the same person that saw
a stone land near his feet?
        Are you saying their combined weight was not approximately 51g?
       What EXACTLY are you saying when you state, "Michaels quoted
statement is inaccurate?"

        Please do enlighten us.
        Michael
