[meteorite-list] Another meteorite claim

[JKGwilliam]

Bob, Ron and List,
It very often goes beyond the point that Bob mentions.  Some of these 
arrogant "experts" claim that members of the scientific community are 
conspiring to take their rare finds away from them and become MORE 
convinced that what they have is a one-in-a-million find.  No amount 
of logic or rational reasoning can sway them from their position.
