Ruben and fellow media stars and the great unwashed on the List,

Would somebody tell me what earthly good does it do for the monetary value (usually grossly inflated) of meteorites to be publicized to an unsophisticated public, ready to jump on every opportunity to make things more difficult and expensive for hunters in the field, and to kick awake every government official with the power to promulgate restrictive regulations so we can be shut down completely?

Look...I love you guys. Ruben and Jeff and Steve and....yes...even Sonny. But, methinks thou hast put us on the slippery slope to extinction. Yeah..I got some press yesterday..but I refused to talk money with the reporters. They had already seen Meteorite Men and the videos on YouTube and all that prompted them to do the story of my find was "What is it worth?" They figured their editors wouldn't print without an evaluation. "No bucks...No Buck Rogers." It took a lot of dancing to get them to do the story just on the basis of the science.
