>>Jonathan, yes you are absolutely right. It is very "odd" and nobody else 
>>understands their site either because their site is nonsense.
>>
>>
>>I would like all my fellow List members to be made aware of something 
>>important: These BCC "Meteorites" characters filed an actual lawsuit 
>>against a number of prominent, respected and very well-liked senior 
>>meteoriticists here in the U.S (one of whom is a personal friend of mine). 
>>The suit was -- of course -- thrown out by the judge for being utterly 
>>frivolous. It's just too bad these clowns weren't heavily fined for 
>>wasting court time.

>>BCC "Meteorites" seems to believe that there's some kind of high-level 
>>conspiracy/cover-up going on between NASA and major meteoritical 
>>institutions -- all because BCC "Meteorites" have been told (nicely and 
>>repeatedly) that the junk items they dig out of their bog, or whatever, in 
>>Texas are not actually fossilized alien brains, UFO warp core spare parts, 
>>Lunar meteorites, Dick Tracy wrist watch radios, etc., but just plain old 
>>dull terrestrial rocks. I think we all enjoy a good eccentric, and the 
>>whole thing would have been somewhat amusing in a "Benny Hill" sort of way 
>>if these guys hadn't been really nasty to some really nice people during 
>>their imaginary scientific journey.
>>
>>
>>We have our squabbles on the List from time to time, but we are all united 
>>in our interest in the SCIENCE of meteoritics. The 
>>technobabble/gobbledygook pseudo-science offered up on the BCC 
>>"Meteorites" website -- and written, I might add, in appalling elementary 
>>school English so laden with spelling errors and grammatical mistakes that 
>>you couldn't follow their argument even if it *were* sound -- should not 
>>be allowed promotion here on the Meteorite List. Novice collectors, still 
>>learning about meteorites, might be hoodwinked into believing some of the 
>>fatuous claims that are made on the BCC website.
>>
>>
>>So, I strongly suggest that we -- as a community -- block the email 
>>addresses of these guys DeRusse and Cutler immediately and permanently. 
>>They just want attention, and the best way to eradicate this kind of fake 
>>science rubbish is to ignore the perpetrators entirely. They'll likely get 
>>bored and wander off to some UFO conspiracy theory/Creationist mailing 
>>list of which -- unfortunately -- there are probably several. A request 
>>from a few of you to List Moderator Art Jones ( 
>>listman at meteoritecentral.com ) to have them removed from the List wouldn't 
>>hurt either.
>>
>>
>>Oh, and BTW, if you look at the first photo on their website, the guy with 
>>the white gloves looks like "Dr. No."   : )
