[meteorite-list] NWA 2999 Abstract Plagiarism

[Greg Hupe]

 Dear all,

 "NWA 2999 Abstract Plagiarism":

 Regarding the disgusting thievery of copyrighted abstract content and the 
pure laziness of the culprit, Ron Ferrell - Blasphemy Sciences "Holiday 
catalog" (or what ever he is called), should publicly apologize to all who 
he has stolen from and insulted. I, and all who have contributed to the 
discovery and study of NWA 2999, work way too hard to have a common criminal 
steal our work. I do not go to Morocco on average of every 2-3 months, spend 
a ton to acquire these rare meteorites just to have some jerk rip off my 
finds and our work.

 I am disgusted and pissed off! I just returned home last night after 24 
hours of travel to see this crap. I am too tired to even get started. My 
advise to this
idiot is to go there and do it yourself! What a clown!

 Best regards,

I was surprised too, so much in fact that I didn't bother reading it in the
Bethany Holiday Catalog figuring it was BS as no authors were listed. Now to
see it is a real article composed by some long standing and reliable names,
I share in David's guarded optimism and I am pleased to see science stepping
outside of the box and taking a swing at defining the angrites better. This
will undoubtedly be further discussed and contested, I applaud the folks at
UW, NAU, and Carnegie for taking that first step.
