I never started it. The PELISSON's are the ones who made the moronic pitch
about his meteorites being better than the NWAs and has been making constant
idiotic comments to that effect for months. He made the NWA comment in his
posting. Not me. I spoke nothing but the truth in my email. The stones are
worth more than twice as much because of the strewnfield data is known. If a
researcher or collector wants to pay double to have the strewnfield data
thats fine with me. I dont have a problem with that. People can buy anything
that they want. I just dont like people playing "My meteorites is better
than your meteorites" and using the "holier than thou" agruement crap to
support it.
And what gives you the right to go shooting off in public that I am somehow
being "unprofessional" just because I point out the obvious and commenting
on the PELISSON's continued efforts to drive the nomads out of the meteorite
market so that they can have the Sahara all to themselves and drive the
prices of their meteorites up even further by eliminating competation. Who
is being unprofessional here? Me or some other dealer who makes attacks in
public and figures that he knows better than everybody else and figures that
he has a right to preech to us infidels just because he happens to be a
university lecturer
of geology.
If the PELISSON's continue to attack NWAs because they dont like the way
that a free market economy works I will continue to call a spade a spade.
And I dont need your rightous preeching telling me how I should run my
business any more than I need to hear this crap from the PELISSONs.
And the nomads have just as much of a right to be in the desert hunting for
meteorites as everybody else does. And until you plan on paying to train the
nomads and buy equipment and provide funding so that they can give you all
of the strewnfield data that you want dont go around with a halo over your
head trying to convince everybody that you are better than the rest of us.
