> Hi Listees,
> 
> With respect to all, but without concern for offending the easily 
> offendable I would like to say:
> 
> If you want to learn about meteorites ASK.
> If you want to sell meteorites, then buy them, or find them, and sell them.
> If you want to collect meteorites then collect them.
> If you want to find them, do the research yourself and help contribute 
> something rather than complaining about people who won't contribute to 
> creating their own competition.
> If you want to hunt for meteorites with a team ASK and be man (or woman) 
> enough to except a no and be grateful if you get a yes!
> Be appreciative of the help you do receive.
> Don't whine!
> 
> If you'd like to learn to etch meteorites
> If you'd like to learn how to track and find new meteorite falls
> If you'd like to learn how to get others help then do the following:
> 
> Help others in turn!
> Offer to help when it's not expected!
> Give!
> Do your own research!
> Get out there and hunt!
> Get out there and make your own contacts.
> Don't "expect" people just to jump in and be happy to help you.
> Stop whining.
> Work your ass off!
> Put in the hours!
> Have something to contribute!
> Earn it!
> 
> And most of all, don't make the mistake of thinking this business is 
> dog-eat-dog. It's like ANY industry or social group and is what you make 
> it. If you look at is in a certain light, that is what you will see.
> 
> Have something to give, and do your own work, don't try piggy-backing on 
> others successes. People will usually not help those who don't help them 
> unless they are just nice people. Show respect and have admiration for 
> those who go out and spend the countless hours and thousands of dollars 
> researching the meteorites they love so much...
> 
> Treat people the way you want to be treated and you'll garner a lot more 
> respect from your peers in ANY business.
> 
> Help people and they will help you.
