>tendancy to forget things.THAT IS WHY I DO IT!!

Steve - if the majority of people are responding to your posts by way of 
complaining about the frequency of them - then quite OBVIOUSLY people are 
NOT forgeting about what you have to offer. How could they forget when 
sometimes you post about the same material so frequently to the list that a 
person is likely to have several emails from you in their inbox each time 
they check their email - each email about the same subject?

my impression of you has always been that of a descent (although quirky - 
then again who isnt?) guy who loves meteorites and wants to share his 
enthusiasm with others. I'm impressed by the fact that you are willing to 
give away specimins for free to anyone interested. I dont mean to get down 
on you - please take this as CONSTRUCTIVE criticism - tone things down a 
notch or two. If you have something for sale - fine - post to the list. you 
dont need to update everyone hourly, daily or even weekly about how your 
sale is going. people WILL see your offers and if they are interested people 
WILL let you know.

Why do you think people give you such a hard time about campo sales? it's 
not because the material isnt nice - it's because you probably made hundreds 
of postings to the list about your efforts to sell the material (or at least 
it seems that way). for the sake of pete man! you arent selling martian 
orthopyroxenite for 3$/gram - it's just campo sales - that kind of posting 
to the list just wasnt needed - thats why people have become fedup with the 
volume of posting you do in terms of your sales efforts.
