Yes, it was just a matter of time. You can only tie up your resources looking
at so many meteorite wrongs before it interferes with budget and time
management. I no longer look at solicited/suspected meteorites from unknown
parties for the same reasons. Most think their finds are going to make them the
latest millionaires and do not want to hear the truth. Dreams are free unless
you are the one characterizing the object. Some get very angry when you tell
them what they have is not a meteorite and they are not that easy to find
regardless of what they saw on TV or read on some website. You can only be
abused so many times before the process becomes less enjoyable.


Here is to finding real meteorites!
