[meteorite-list] IMCA: is the education the only answer?
Dear list members, I'm not still a IMCA member (the application is pending) but I want to express my opinion about the IMCA strategy against the fraudulent auctions. Magellon wrote: >>> [about glassface1] >IMCA is the answer. The more new persons who join, the more who will be >educated to the glassface1's. Ok, but: A) the IMCA website was down and there wasn't a backup site. It was harder to know what exactly the IMCA is and what it does. At the moment very few people know the new address (www.IMCA.cc) and the change of domain affected negatively the association. It's very important to have one trustful address to add to the business cards. B) to educate himself joining this list is not an "easy n' fast way". First of all he has to subscribe. Newbies prefers to read dummy-proof webpages. Second problem there are a lot of messages. A newbie with a still weak motivation could abandon the list early. Last but not least there is a very low newbie_topics/advanced_topics messages ratio. C) the solution to the frauds cannot be _only_ the "education". A lot of first time meteorite buyers do not dream to become a meteorite expert with a huge collection. They just want to buy a genuine piece of matter coming from the outer space. When someone decides to educate himself subscribing this list he already know the "fake-meteorites auctions" problem. Knowing this problem is the main thing! A lot of newbie with low ebay-experience believe to what they read in the object description. Due the "ebay buyer protection" they feels safe and so they buy. When a non-this_list-subscribed ebay user wonder about the authenticity of a meteorite in an near-ending auction he looks for a fast answer. For example how can a non-subscribed guy can be aware about the glassface1 thread? Subscribing the list will not help him: the messages about glassface1 are already gone and subscribing and waiting for an answer takes days. Also searching in old messages is an inefficient and slow process. My suggestion is to put on the IMCA website an easy to reach page with the current suspected auctions. Something like this: -- RISKY AUCTIONS auction fraud risk problem 22 meteorwrong galaxy meteorites are homemade plastic sculptures 23 medium doubtful image, the seller is 0 feedback 24 highdoubtful images, the seller is a well known fake meteorite seller ASK US an opinion about a doubtful auction not listed above. Click here to see past suspected auctions. Disclaimer The opinions stated in this page are only meteorite experts opinions based on available informations. Please do not sue us. -- The link "ASK US" may take the user to a form where he could send a preformatted synthetic signalling message to this list and so on... the loop is closed. It would be useful also a faq of this list and a synthetic guide to meteorwrongs including links to the best written pages about this topic. (I do not remember if these things were already presents on the IMCA website) What do you think about this idea? bye, > Dave < __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

First of all it is easy to understand that the moroccan meteorites are not able to change the life of moroccan people. In the same way in the usa the multi-billion Enron crack did not affect the people lifestile as well few ton of meteorites/year will not turn Morocco in Swiss. >via clienti ad altri.

The Proud Tom site is gone. Well... in my humble opinion Matteo is a bit touchy and sometimes he should be less critical and a little more positive.
