Meteoritefragments.com is a load of something - and it isn't meteorites.

"Market leaders" don't need to steal other people's photos without permission.

And I don't care who graduated from where with what kind of degree - a
degree just implies how big somebody's bucket is. It says nothing
about what that bucket is filled with. Apparently they didn't teach
intellectual property theft or plagiarism at that university.

Best regards,

MikeG
