Very good question.
It seems to me that unless you are getting paid for something. You are an

I'm not sure if Marvin Kilgore gets paid but his name appears on a number of

Hello List,
I'm looking for a couple of fresh black fusion crusted stones, they don't
need to be 100% crusted.
Just a fresh looking common type stone will do.
Let me know off list if you have something you want to sell or trade.
Thanks,

Hi Dave and List,
It is held in some educated quarters that the fusion crusted meteorite

site in Islam.
Further, there is a good argument tha
