Hello Mike and List,
I got some "ayes", I got some flak - even from my Pauline, which is quite
normal because
there are always two sides to a thing: "it takes two to tango". Let me first of
all congratulate
Mike on his latest find: this extraordinary pallasite - I criticized you so I
should also be able
to congratulate you on this latest meteoritic feat!
Mike is a top-notch meteorite dealer, a top-notch meteorite collector, Mike is
a top-notch
meteorite hunter, ... his impulsive, eruptive aggressiveness can be quite
bothersome! But:
He is *NOT" a thief, he never stole a meteorite nor ever will - I own an
Ourique piece plus
a thin section - both from Mike as so many other specimens in my collection and
there would
be quite a few meteorites missing in our and UoA's collections if Mike Farmer
had not been
there right in the adventurous footsteps of Bob Haag!
I didn't like Armando's latest post in response to my post very much because I
did not mean
to "demean" Mike's merits as a "collector-hunter-dealer", I was solely
referring to his "unbridled
aggressiveness" - no matter what triggers his eruptions, ... the first thing he
does, he goes boom!
So, I do hope that if ever Mike and I meet in person, either in Ensisheim or in
Tucson some
day, that we will enjoy a couple of beers, talk meteorites and other things and
maybe smile
about things we said even though we were serious when said what we said!
Best regards,
Bernd
