I am really confused here as to the purpose of the Hupes email and photo along this thread. What exactly is it that you are trying to acompolish?. There are two meteorites (And nice ones to may I add) but I cant figure out the purpose of sending those nice photos in conjunction with my sale. From past postings the hupes are all for science and no comments about a meteorite should ever be made and no sales should take place until all minor details of the science is figured out (Example: The hupes recent attack on Mike Farmer for selling amgala that farmer knew exactly what it was but still waiting on the classification). Apparantly this is bad science and bad business on farmers part. (Maybe you could explein to us a little more exactly why this is so because something is lost on me with that one). So are you now saying that you can make absolute scientific pairings based on digital photos from a webpage? I realize that the moroccan half of "The Lunar Rock team" has the ability to analyize a rock and get the complete classification acceptable to the meteoritical society and Jeff Grossman just by looking at it when it is buried in the sand while riding a camel, can move mountains, solve world hunger, and root out all members of bill clintons harem - but is this an new ability that you now have? If so please let everybody know because all of the dealers (Myself included) would love to get thousands of meteorites classified and there is a huge backlog right now that you could solve in half a day flat by taking advantage of the "Lunar Rock team" resources. I think that I will contact the "Moroccan half of Lunar Rock team" and put them in touch with the meteoritical society to get this classificatin thing straitened out. After all, its all in the interest of science. Thats the only reason I do this. For science and extenting human knowledge. Hell, I am only doing this to promote knowledge and the only reason why I am not giving my rocks away for free is because I need some way to finance this scientific quest - and NASA wont finance me because of budgetary cutbacks. So let us all know - whats the real reason that you took part in this email thread about my sale (During the time that I was having my sale). I am sure it was strictly in the interest of science. Sincerely DEAN PS: For the record anybody who goes to Morocco and spends $5000 on meteorites and Habibi finding out about it means that everybody in the sahara involved with meteorites knows that there is a new meteorite buyer that might drop some cash their way. Its a very tight knit community and most of these people grew up together. I may or may not be as big a fish in morocco as I claim sometimes but if the "Moroccan half of the lunar rock team dont even know who I am and never herd of me" they must have been living on the moon or extremily drunk for the last 4 years. How could somebody with the extensive meteorite contacts in morocco as the "Lunar Rock team" not even know the name of what is at least one of the top five buyers of meteorites in Morocco. Thats like a computer salesmen not knowing who Compaq computer is.
