[meteorite-list] Shady dealings with Bob Evans and Steve Arnold!

[Joe]

Hello Ruben, Dave, and list,
    I do not want to sound like I am sticking up for anyone, but Steve already had this meteorite on Friday Oct 21st.  Maybe Bob did not take the auction down in time, or maybe even not at all. I am sure it was all just a mistake. I do not know either of these guys, how ever I have talked to Steve a little through my forum. I am not sticking up for anyone, just trying to clear up a problem.
    I know that Steve had this meteorite on Friday, because he posted on my forum to go to his site and look at his new Canyon Diablo with a hole. You can go to the thread if you want to see for yourself. It is like the 5th reply( on the second page).
