No naysayer at all, John. Thanks for your objective and noble statement.
Thanks also to Dirk for his attempt to bring a bit more light into this
case.
A nice weekend to everyone,
my best,
Matthias Baermann

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Beware of Steve Arnold Chicago Ebay scams part
3+
Dirk and List,
Friday morning editorial.
It will be interesting to see how Steve Arnold Chicago responds to this
allegation, that is, if he responds at all. My guess is that he'll go into
hiding for a time and then reappear as if nothing has happened. But, in
all fairness, I'm willing to wait a day or two and see how it all shakes
out.
I've known Dirk for a lot of years and spent many hours on the phone with
him when two of our fellow List members were on an extended "vacation" to
Oman. He's a stand-up guy and I don't recall ever hearing anything
negative about him. Chicago Steve, on the other hand, well... I think I'll
simply let his reputation speak for itself.
If I had to put my hard earned cash on the table and gamble on the outcome
of this situation, I think that all of you already know who I would bet
on. Exposing fraud on the internet and within our communities is, or
should be, the duty of all honest people. If your support of someone is
colored by free beer, personal favors or, in this case, freebie
meteorites, then maybe it's time to take a look in the mirror.
I'm trying not to be bias. I'm merely relying on past experience to help
me make a judgement call for myself. If some of you think this makes me a
"naysayer" then so be it.
Best Regards, and have a great weekend,
John Gwilliam

Dear list,
Steve Arnold Chicago has another Ebay scam?; pulling
the auction the day of the auction and cancelling all bids. Or Steve do
you have a very good explanation?
Potential buyers or bidders beware! And whoever purchased the
meteorite outside of EBAY, if they did, you are just as guilty as Big
Steve.
Any other bidders that are List members or have had the same happen on
his other auctions please contact me as I am going to lodge a formal
complaint with EBAY and have him removed as a seller.
For all of you naysayers that take his free "gifts" and support him on
the met-list please take a look and think before next time coming to his
aid as a dupe.
Thank you! Dirk Ross...Tokyo
