Re: [meteorite-list] Lindfors avalanche!
I've asked him to stop, too, but he hasn't done it. This calendar year I've received a minimum of 3801 e-mails from him (~11/day) with 84,805 JPG attachments. I say minimum because our IT guy just trashes them if I don't clean up my mail box every few days. I derive some bizarre pleasure from counting them.

Re: [meteorite-list] Lindfors avalanche!
why not forward all his messages back to him but do it twice? if you really want to make a point put his address in a super spammer site that will send him 10k emails a day. Actually it would be better to use your mail settings to block his ip address so if they change the address it still goes into your spam box. the ip address should be attached to the documents or photos sent. yahoo stores them in a file called ypager. I'm not sure about other mail servers. I could tell you more if i could dissect one of the emails, but I am not interested in becoming one of the next victims. Have a spam free day!

Re: [meteorite-list] Lindfors avalanche!
Jeff - I wrote him and explained that I am a scientist, have little interest in his stuff and said that his large files were clogging up my computer. I politely asked him to take me off his list and he did.

He must send this flotsam to everyone on the List. I was also spammed by him. I blocked his email address.

Re: [meteorite-list] Lindfors avalanche!
Hi Pete and List, For those who might not know, Mr. Lindfors is well known (notorious) for shopping around some interesting-looking, but quite dubious meteorites that he claims are lunar in origin. He tries to sell the specimens and the sales pitch is long and always accompanied by a plethora of attached photos which show the specimens and his notes. He will not listen to reason and insists that his specimens are indeed lunaites, and that anyone who disagrees with him is mistaken. Despite being told that his specimens are terrestrial by several respectable and trusted scientists, he continues to shop around these fake lunars. I don't know if he is genuinely crazy and doesn't have the capacity to grasp reason, or if he knows they are fake and is actively perpetuating a scam. Pete, if you didn't get his email, you were lucky. ;) Best regards and Happy Holidays, MikeG On 12/26/09, Pete Shugar pshu...@clearwire.net wrote: Mike, I did not get any so I guess I'm lucky?
