Our new Lunar, NWA 482 has caused a firestorm of <DIV></DIV>>controversy, but only from the other "French" buyers who missed it. I <DIV></DIV>>have had numerous emails, conversations, phone calls, threats etc. from <DIV></DIV>>several FRENCH buyers, but not from ANY other sources, NO Germans have <DIV></DIV>>harassed me, no Italians, no Russians, no one from Czech Republic etc. <DIV></DIV>>Only from several French people who seem to feel that North Africa is <DIV></DIV>>their domain for some unknown reason! <DIV></DIV>>It seem that the basic idea that they are trying to spread is that their <DIV></DIV>>meteorites are good, everyone else' s are BAD! "Don't buy Brunos SNC <DIV></DIV>>Paris,. it is BAD, Don't buy Farmer and Stropes new Lunar, it is BAD, My <DIV></DIV>>stuff is GOOD, buy MINE!" <DIV></DIV>> Does anyone else find this to be a little annoying and amusing at <DIV></DIV>>the same time? <DIV></DIV>>It seems that someone is sending notices to museums that NWA 482 is not <DIV></DIV>>a good Lunar to get, I wonder who that might be??????? <DIV></DIV>> Science is profiting more then ever right now with the rare items <DIV></DIV>>being discovered. The finders are profiting too, is that wrong? It takes <DIV></DIV>>alot of money to fund these expeditions. Without that money, the <DIV></DIV>>meteorites will lay forever in the sand, and the information that they <DIV></DIV>>give will be lost. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Mike Farmer <DIV></DIV>>http://www.meteoritehunter.com <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV><br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href="http://explorer.msn.com">http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></p></html> Received on Sat 12 May 2001 02:28:43 PM PDT |
