Lets let Steve speak for himself, Shall we?

(Why do all these enablers keep complaining about taking things off list --then
insure their diatribes are posted onlist?) Liberals, politicians in general,
and crooks always seem to exempt themselves from the rules they demand others
follow. Why are you making a "personal attack"against me on-list when you
preach about it being a list violation? Didn't you have a recent diatribe about
ethics? Where are your ethics?

I've addressed why I thought my post was list business twice now and I will not
justify it again--especially to you. So please take your misguided,
misinformed, parental conflict, ignorance of the facts, situation and complain
to someone else. And Jason, my "widdle antagonist", Your mouth seems to have
certain echo quality --like it was coming out of your loins. Have you thought
about having it surgically repositioned?-- You've no fracking idea what my
email settings are just who is engaging in idle speculation?

There are several members of the meteorite community who know specifically what
unethical / illegal activities I am talking about, I don't remember you stepping
forward at the time. So once again you haven't a clue and I tire of the magical
trick you keep putting in my face where you pull a smelly bouquet out of a body
orifice and call it "righteous indignation".


Jason I don't see your name listed on any of the notarized documents and so far
as I can tell you aren't entitled to view them either. As you've made amply
clear, you have deep abiding tiff with me which won't die so you look for every
opportunity to grind your ax. I have a beef with Steve's ethics but at least I
have a reason which I state EVERYTIME I have cause to bring it up. This is
sorta my way of saying talk to the hand.

So put your effort where your mouth is and if you feel compelled to "chastise
me" or lie about me-- follow your own demands and write me off list. I do not
just now have your emails set to automatically get File 13ed.

Elton
