Hi Pete and List,

For those who might not know, Mr. Lindfors is well known (notorious)
for shopping around some interesting-looking, but quite dubious
"meteorites" that he claims are lunar in origin. He tries to sell the
specimens and the sales pitch is long and always accompanied by a
plethora of attached photos which show the specimens and his notes.
He will not listen to reason and insists that his specimens are indeed
lunaites, and that anyone who disagrees with him is mistaken. Despite
being told that his specimens are terrestrial by several respectable
and trusted scientists, he continues to shop around these fake lunars.
 I don't know if he is genuinely crazy and doesn't have the capacity
to grasp reason, or if he knows they are fake and is actively
perpetuating a scam.

Pete, if you didn't get his email, you were lucky. ;)

Best regards and Happy Holidays,

MikeG
