Adam,
I have no idea what you are talking about. I looked at some of Adam's rocks, 
he ASKED me my opinion of them, the texture of the stone he had somewhat 
resembled the stone I had just bought in tucson that resembled your 
pallasite like ureilite - and i said as much. Thats it. How should i know 
what kind of deals you may or may not have had in the works for the stone? 
If I wanted the rock I would have bought it, but it was too small for my 
tastes. I thought it might have been special so I said as much, as it 
apeared that this 'pallasite like ureilite' material was comming out of the 
desert at the time. Whats wrong with that? would you have rathered I kept my 
mouth shut and not answered his question honesty so that you could have 
purchased a potentially rare stone cheaper than you otherwise might have? I 
was aparently wrong in my assumption, but then again I did not say that my 
opinion was based upon hard evidence either.

I wasnt trying to cause problems, i was simply posting a picture bragging 
about the great end cut I bought from dean bessy when he compared what he 
called 869 to your 904. Hell, i even braged about the piece of 904 I got 
from you - i DO like it. you are the one who told me I was a liar and the 
material I photographed wasnt 'collection in a slice' from you - you even 
told me that I would hear from your lawyers before I posted my hupe 
collection lable and offered to copy and paste the transaction details from 
my emails. go look through the archive to refresh your obviously sellective 
memory.

You should appologize to me for saying that i misrepresented a meteorite i 
bought from the hupe collection, when in fact i did not, as thats what men 
do when they make mistakes.

As far as grief is concerned, I have negotiated deals for aproximatly 30 kgs 
of achonderites since Tucson at very favorable rates - aparently other 
dealers care little for my opinion of you.

I certainly hope this is the last time i feel the compelling need to bring 
this subject up in public again. I advise you to drop these petty attacks, i 
can not see them helping your image any on this forum.
