Mike and List:

That's so funny.? Everyone is jumping on the band wagon to make a little cash.? It doesn't bother me a bit, because if you want to get into any venture or start a new hobby, you should do research on it first so you don't get taken advantage of.? I just wonder if this person has ever hunted a meteorite before? Perhaps he has, but marketing and sales may be his true hobby.
