[meteorite-list] ASU suspends public meteorite identification program

[Adam Hupe]

Yes, it was just a matter of time.  You can only tie up your resources looking 
at so many meteorite wrongs before it interferes with budget and time 
management.  I no longer look at solicited/suspected meteorites from unknown 
parties for the same reasons. Most think their finds are going to make them the 
latest millionaires and do not want to hear the truth.  Dreams are free unless 
you are the one characterizing the object. Some get very angry when you tell 
them what they have is not a meteorite and they are not that easy to find 
regardless of what they saw on TV or read on some website. You can only be 
abused so many times before the process becomes less enjoyable. 


Here is to finding real meteorites!
