G'Day Michael, List and AllI'm a little perplexed over this statement.
You've got to remember thatthis was a live auction, many people viewed
it, there were a lot ofcomments made. But why are we trying to hide
something here? Aren't wetrying to be honest? Not even with the buyers,
but with the public thatview this list? We're just adding to meteorite
buyers / collectors beingcorrupt. We don't need to hide anything and we
don't need to give thosethat frequent these pages fire power to say
that we're not legit.I'm sorry, I disagree with this whole thing. Make
it be known, make itbe public. That's the only way we're going to move
forward from beingnegative. That's just my thoughts and not anyone
else's. But I'm alittle concerned about the non-transparency. Bear with
me, I'm not outto condone anybody, but give it some
thought.CheersJohnIMCA # 2125-----Original Message-----From:
