[meteorite-list] a bunch of "competitors" in Ensisheim

[Meteoriteshow]

Hi Zelimir and All,

Yes, the more we will be the more fun we'll have, I'm sure! I'm already in the starting blocks and ready to drive to Alsace.
See you there.
Fred

Hi Michael, Mike, Hans, Bruno, List,

As I already notified Mike, by no means NOBODY will ever be kicked off from
Ensisheim show. This is just impossible to even conceive as far as I and my
co-organizing friends are concerned.
Gathering as many people to share a common passion is the fundamental
reason of the creation of our show. Michael is more than right: everybody
(dealers included) would for sure profit of such a fair competition.
I second that the japanese behavior is very strange.

In less than 10 days from now, you will be almost 50 dealers to gather and
be kept close to each other for the best pleasure of every visitor and most
certainly of each of you.
So please Mike, Hans, Bruno...be happy and smile.
We all have fun to offer that certainly each of us is willing to take and
share.
As Micheal would say: the more people willing to share fun, the more fun is
generated..

More Ensisheim news to come.

Cheers,

Zelimir
