[meteorite-list] Meteorite Hunters Sentenced- new information

[Notkin]

Dirk:

I concur with Eric and Mike Gilmer.

This is not news and no "new information" has come to light. The piece  
you linked to was published on April 8 and today is August 25. How is  
that a "new article"?

Just yesterday, I wrote a complimentary profile of my good friend  
Sonny Clary, and it was published by TucsonCitizen.com. Isn't that  
just the most amazing coincidence given the timing of your supposed  
"new story"?

In my opinion, the above article is an accurate reflection of Sonny's  
character -- a fine gentleman whom I've had the pleasure of knowing  
for years. Anyone who has done any serious meteorite hunting has  
likely wandered down the wrong path in the boonies at some point in  
their career. I know I have. But how many of you have made a major  
donation to school kids overseas?

Dirk, it's really obvious to anyone who knows these guys personally  
that you are just meddling. Get some sense of perspective and stop  
being so petty.
