[meteorite-list] Lake Titicaca Meteoorite fall in Peru????

[LITIG8NSHARK at aol.com]

Good evening, Mr.  Gregory,

I did receive the two photos you sent  me following my winning bid of your 
eBay auction.  
(http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEBTOX:IT&item=300159255522&_trksid=p3984.cTODAY.m238.lVI)

I would note that the second photo you sent....the one which shows you 
climbing  out of the crater with a few plastic bags for your "photo op"; and which 
you  have posted to your latest auction....is disconcerting, to say the least.  
 That crater has been the recipient of human waste, among other things--if I 
am  properly informed.  The fact that you climbed down into the crater-waste  
without appropriate protection speaks volumes about your professionalism in 
the  science of meteoritics.....not to mention your omnipotence.   

The photo of the crater you forwarded; which  coincidentally you have 
apparently unilaterally named ("Lake Titicaca"), is not  as advertised.  The optical 
quality is quite poor, in fact--I find it  difficult to believe that it is 
1,200 dpi(one thousand, two hundred dpi) as I  requested and, which is 
significantly less than the quality you advertised as  possible to send.  In all 
honesty, my three year old, 5 meg., camera would  have taken a cleaner picture.  

Further,  your eBay ad's suggestion that the photo you ultimately e-mailed me 
was removed  from your original eBay ad (yes, I saw the ad before you removed 
the  photo....apparently concerned that some "ingenious" person might 
actually copy  the photo) in order to maximize it's quality with your Photoshop 
software, is  falling on deaf ears.  

Yes, I won your  auction for next to nothing......unfortunately, was worth 
even less.    So, to respond to your e-mail inquiry: Do I like the photos?  I'm 
not  fluent in enough languages to tell you that "NO, I AM NOT HAPPY, I FEEL 
TAKEN  ADVANTAGE OF, AND YES RANDY, I AM A LAWYER...FOR WHAT IT'S  WORTH."  

No worries my friend,  I'm not going to sue you....On the contrary, I happen 
to respect the Meteorite  List members with whom you were fighting before you 
did us all the favor, and  resigned your subscription.  So NO, anticipating 
your next query...I will  NOT represent you!

PS  The idea that  you would charge $50.00 shipping, for a one gram specimen 
of any meteorite you  might sell on eBay, is truly repugnant.  Shame on you,  
Sir.

Best regards,

Hi,

Let me know  if you like them. Notice the trash in the crater. I waded in and 
cleaned  it.


Are you an attorney?
