Seller has seen the light and canceled this auction (he initially dropped the buy-it-now from $1 mil to $75K, then thought better of the whole thing and got out).

Re: [meteorite-list] Global Warming - Scientifically proven or afarce
(1) I find it notable that most (not all) of the posts in favor of human-caused global warming have tended toward the emotional and feelings-based (some rising to the level of hysteria), whereas most (not all) of the skeptics' posts have been cool, calculated, scientific analyses. I don't say it proves anything, I only say it's notable.

Re: [meteorite-list] New Orleans
Well, Matt, I understand that there have been SOME larger pieces, that's why I chose the word "virually" when referring to the crumb-sized pieces. I'm not particularly looking for a larger piece of New Orleans, I was just expressing curiosity at its evolution, from fall to collector market. Let me try it again. How about this: "Compared to other recent, similar-TKW falls, it seems like a much higher percentage of the material available to collectors is crumb-sized". OK?

steve arnold writes: << I really want to start gaining the respect of people of whom I know and would like to know on this list >> __ Steve: Assuming you are getting tired of making endless apologies to the list (and most listees are getting tired of reading them), how about giving this a try: Stop doing things you will have to apologize FOR. Plus (aside from the seemingly self-evident solutions of obeying list-rules and displaying higher ethical standards in buying, selling, and posting), there are a couple of very simple changes you could make in your posts. They couldn't hurt: There is no such word (in English anyway) as "forsale". Same for "alot". You might introduce yourself to the space bar on your keyboard (it's the long skinny one in the bottom row). Use between sentences and after commas. While you're figuring out how to correct "forsale", give "stoney" a shot, too. Ditto: Millibbilliee, Glorietta, viens, liesure, givaway, shrapnal, mororroco, rediculous, siderlit, nininnger, allie, mes, "to" vs. "too" vs. "two", et. al. A "fusion-crustless fragment"? Marks for originality. While familiarizing yourself with the space bar, spend a little quality-time with the key which says "Shift" on it. It Capitalizes things. Consider its use with "texas", "monnig", "chicago", "usa", most everyone's namesmaybe even "steve" and "arnold", too. Not everything you mention is particularly exciting A discernible attempt at eliminating the linguistic laziness in your posts would demonstrate that you have some respect for the listees who read them, a prerequisite for your receiving their respect in return. At the very least, try to set your grammatical goal as high as listees for whom English is a second, third, or fourth language.
