Dear Gary, First, I think your presentation to the school and some of your posts to the list have been excellent. But you are the one who shot across our bow first as your email to the list on Dec 22, 2005 will show.
From the list archives. http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/meteorite-list/2005-December/018771.html 1. When a list member informed you that we already provide a free list to everyone your response was - "Yes, but you have to know what you want." I took that as a negative view of the service we have been providing since 1996. 2. Your statement, "If you want to be listed in what will quickly become the premier meteorite dealer's listing website..." We've been the premier Meteorite Dealer listing website since 1996 and you have publicly stated your intent to change that. 3. Your statement, "And I bet I can take top position in the major search engines too. I've been at this for 13 years now." This further proves you are trying to knock us out of our #1 spot and implies that I lack the seo skills necessary to remain #1. I do disagree with some of your business tactics though. Pumping up your posts in November and December to have people look at your website and drive up your stats and then make a statement (which is accurate for December) that you have x amount of unique visitors is quite misleading. Everyone should look at the months before November and December to see the real stats. http://gaccin.pair.com/wx/webalizer/meteorite-dealers.com/ This is the reason I made my post the way that I did. I also calculated that you would not be able to remain silent. If you had remained silent I would not be making this post. Competition is great for everyone. It has kept us on our toes and our sites and services are better today because of you. Thank you for making us better. Paul Harris ******************************* From Dec 22, 2005 Yes, but you have to know what you want. This will be listings of all dealers who want to participate by location. And I bet I can take top position in the major search engines too. I've been at this for 13 years now.

I am creating a website to list all meteorite dealers worldwide [if possible anyway] and would like to include your business in the database. What's in it for you? Business, plain and simple. As an example, I created NorthConwayLodgings.com on Dec 12th. As of yesterday it is #1 on MSN and will be penetrating the top listings in Yahoo and Google within the next few months. This new Meteorite Dealers site will be broken down by region and will launch within a week. It should be placed well before the Tucson show at MSN and If you want to be listed in what will quickly become the premier meteorite dealer's listing website just shoot me an email using the email link near the end of this post. Click it and the subject should be included in your to me email automatically. ****************************************************************** Gary K. Foote wrote: > Petty capatilasm, Paul.
