Jake and all involved in this thread,

Believe me, I wish I had the luxury of time that Robert has to go off and chase fireballs. Really I do and I envy those that can. But I would hardly say that those of us that are interested in working with the public in regard to meteorites are merely "sitting on the couch." Just because you don't chase every meteor doesn't make you some sort of "meteorite slouch". Other commitments like kids, spouses, jobs, etc., make hunting nearly impossible for me.

I am a bit sensitive to such a comment because I know of the extraordinary efforts many of us make to educate the public go completely unnoticed by many of you and the press. Cheer on those that can afford the time to hunt and applaud those that can turn on future meteorite enthusiasts through education, at their own pace.

Matt

Hi Eric.....

I gather you keep up on these types of things considering the amount of time and effort you have put into your great websites. Do you have any idea of the success rate of a hunter like Robert who will go just about anywhere to chase down a lead vs people who actually wait until a piece has been found or confirmed?

I would imagine that Robert's success rate would be low. But at least he could be proud to know that he was willing to do the leg work and not sit on the sofa waiting for someone to do it for him.

Good Hunting to all willing to roll the dice.....

Jake
