You announce your latest find, it gets 30 replies and then when the
list members start having a little fun about meteorites, you get all
negative and start bitching that we aren't posting things you think is
on-topic.

It's funny, you'll email me off-list to slam other meteorite hunters
or to bad-mouth other dealers, or to say how horrible this list is,
but you won't add me to your mailing list or approve my Facebook
request. That's fine and you are free to do as you wish, but don't
act like this List is nothing but off-topic crap, because it's not.
Some serious science does get discussed here and meteorites are
discussed. Yeah, there is some off-topic alien crap (I agree with
you on that one), but Art does a good job of keeping things on track.
He reads the List and pops up every now and then to steer things back
in the right direction.

If every member of this List replied to your posts, it still wouldn't
be enough to feed your voracious ego.

But, as you have said a hundred times before - who cares what I think
or say. I am just one of the 1000 idiots on this list who don't
matter because we haven't flown around the world to find a meteorite.
Funny how you suddenly care when one of us is ready to spend money.
You are no different than the other dealers you bad-mouth.

I used to admire your "no BS" attitude and willingness to be
absolutely frank and blunt about your opinions. But now I see I had
those qualities confused with arrogance and ego.

You are a damn-good meteorite hunter and probably one of the best
currently on the planet - but your ego is the size of Vesta and your
attitude probably loses you a ton of sales - not that you care.
