[meteorite-list] Morocco Meteorite Meeting

[Greg Hupe]

Hi Dean,

No scare tactics here, just reporting it as I see it. Go there and see for 
yourself before making defaming comments. I don't have time to worry about 
playing games so if you don't like what I have to write, simply delete it 
and go on enjoying whatever you do.

Greg
