Subject: Pull plug on 'Chicago STEVE'


Here we go again... what to do about Steve from Chicago. May I suggest =
pulling the plug once and for all, the 'plug' that connects him to the =
list, that is. No one can say he wasn't warned, and in my humble opinion =
he's been warned more than one too many times. Sure we all have delete =
keys to use, and yes we can all block his messages but why are we being =
subjected to doing so?=20
=20
It is one thing, for example, to find a new meteorite and offer =
specimens to list members at a good price, thereby sharing ones good =
fortunes with fellow listees, most list members wouldn't mind that. But =
buying a couple of grams of this or that from 'Mr Haag' at full retail, =
then desperately attempting to flip the material to people on the list =
is an entirely different matter.=20
=20
Most of the folks on the list know how to contact Robert if they really =
need a piece of the Tucson Ring so badly that they can't sleep at night =
without it.=20
=20
Steve is trying to pull-off the meteoritical equivalent of going to a =
car dealership, buying a new ''beamer'' and trying to re-sell it the =
next day in the Auto Trader at a tidy mark-up. The real world simply =
does not function in that manner.=20
=20
This whole situation should have been nipped in the bud weeks if not =
months ago.=20
=20
Who's in charge again? Hopefully not Steve.=20
=20
How about an open vote on the solution to the situation? Sounds =
democratic enough to me...=20
=20
I'll even offer to cast the first one. I say no more warnings, no more =
excuses, no more slaps on the wrist.=20
=20
Just PULL THE PLUG.=20
=20
If anyone cares to agree or disagree, go for the gusto...=20
