I'm relatively new at this and I  was wondering.

Why is there so much difference between this fall and the  West, TX fall?

Thanks,

Greg,

The main difference is that a meteorites were found by a  lot of people in 
West in short order, and here the few that have been found have  been few 
and far between in a not so publicly known location.

In West it  was not uncommon for people to find a meteorite once every 
other day, sometimes  a bit more often, and other times some people went up to a 
week of hunting and  not finding anything. But whatever the case, in West, 
at least part of the  strewnfield was publicly known from day one.

In West there was no  chance that anyone could hoard all the finds for 
themselves, here there is a  reasonable chance that Jack's team might be able 
to, or at least that is what it  seems they hope they can do. 

If you are asking what is different about  Farmer's stance this time 
around, it is because he is on the other side of the  fence this time.

And many people can appreciate that different  circumstances can call for 
different plans of action.  I think some people  come down hard on Farmer, 
because he publicly states things in absolute black  and white terms, strongly 
criticizing people, then he himself turns around and  goes against his own 
previously publicly stated standards.
