[meteorite-list] Steve's posts<--forged ?

[Pete Pete]

Hello, List!

Hi, (Elton?);

Elton, I guess your post means you're in charge of the "If you're not with 
us, you're against us" department here.
I'll try to calm your suspicions of me being a figment: (your cyber-snooping 
indicates you've got way too much time on your hands, and definitely lost 
focus of this newsgroup. You're the type of person that makes firewalls, 
worm protection and anonymity on the web unfortunately necessary these days. 
See below - all you had to do was ask!)


First, I'm not on anyone's side here.
I'm here to learn about meteorites from people as interested in them as I 
am.
Being virtually at the beginner level, I have little to contribute. 
Therefore, my lack of postings shouldn't be suspicious to you.

My profession is in the sciences, and I've got a fair working knowledge of 
my primary personal interest - astronomy. I'll chat anything from quantum 
physics to orbital calculus with you, if you'd like, but that would be a bit 
off topic...

Meteorites are a relatively new concentration for me. I thought I had found 
one last summer, and after that excitement, I was truly bitten by this 
field. (No - it wasn't one)

I belong to several news groups and blog sites covering a wide variety of 
interests.
I joined the Meteorite List about a week ago and it's been the benefit I 
sought.
My meteorite collection consists of one decent sample of the Brenham 
pallasite, and although it was a gift, I guarantee it wasn't purchased 
through Steve.

I don't know Steve.
I have visited his web site. Without criticism meant; though I could see his 
obvious enthusiasm by his collection (which would be very interesting to see 
close-ups of each sample), I found it mundane and uninformative. ***It looks 
like a new site, and I'm sure it will eventually improve. (But, hey! That's 
his business and his web site)

I'm not here to fight his battles.
I have no interest in what's behind the abrasion between you.
My post was out of frustration.
As I said, I'm with several lists and blogs spread over several interests - 
some with the expected rude and crude free-for-alls by experts - and I enjoy 
them all, but seeing a gaggle of insulting "flamers" in action a couple of 
times already in a supposedly science oriented group was disappointing to 
see here, and I reacted.

Predictably, you'll keep the flaming going, thereby degrading the legitimacy 
of the rest of the group.
Hopefully, I can keep learning about meteorites from you all without the 
nonsense to sift through!

Apologies and only respect to the real group!

Pete

Hello Cyber Sleuth's and Peace Loving Meteorite Enthusiasts!

I am not in anyway trying to participate in the latest round of I, Steve. 
(But by writing this I guess I am and I have previously apologized for THIS 
post in my previous posts)  This is about the supporters of His Works 
perhaps following the Matteo Protocol.  I've wondered for some time why the 
few supporters of Chitown Ste2ve that speak up on the list, generally have 
throw-away, easy-to-fake email addresses... They post in Steve's hour of 
distress then they disappear into oblivion--never answering their 
emails..... Never posting on any other topic so far as I can recall.

Makes me wonder how real those support emails are.  I guess when you have as 
few real friends as some ex dealers--  er.... Limited Dealers  have , one 
would be tempted to start a dialog with one's alter -ego.

Anyone know where ISP [65.54.175.200] and [bay104-nat1.bay104.hotmail.com] 
are located. My tools say the domain doesn't exist.   DNS query for 
*65.54.175.200* failed: *Queried domain does not exist.*

Surely Chitown Ste2ve isn't so sophisticated as to cover his cyber tracks.  
er  His supporters aren't so sophisticated as to cover his tracks...er  
their tracks....er  you know what I mean.

Speak up, Pete, show us you aren't a figment of someone's imagination.  I 
like to know who and where I am talking with in the case we trade meteorites 
in the future<wink>
Inquiring mind wants to know.
