Hi Ruben,

I misunderstood. When you said that you and Mike tried to buy their
Diablos and they turned out to be Campos (and their Tolucas also), I
just assumed that they tried to hoodwink you - which would be futile
since you have forgotten more about meteorites than many people will
ever learn. I pictured some person presenting a Campo with a Diablo
label on it.

Best regards,

MikeG
