[meteorite-list] Re: Tucson 05 Retrospective; Exactly why this list needs moderation.

Well said Geoff,
These guys are as crazy as they come. Pretty sad when every university you 
send your junk to tells you it isn't a meteorite, and you get more and more 
angry and spiteful that you resort to defaming people like Art Ehlmann.
I call people like that COWARDS, nothing more, nothing less.
I hope the end up living in a cave like the Frass freak did. That tells us 
alot about that guy.
