G'Day Michael, List and AllI'm a little perplexed over this statement. 
You've got to remember thatthis was a live auction, many people viewed 
it, there were a lot ofcomments made. But why are we trying to hide 
something here? Aren't wetrying to be honest? Not even with the buyers, 
but with the public thatview this list? We're just adding to meteorite 
buyers / collectors beingcorrupt. We don't need to hide anything and we 
don't need to give thosethat frequent these pages fire power to say 
that we're not legit.I'm sorry, I disagree with this whole thing. Make 
it be known, make itbe public. That's the only way we're going to move 
forward from beingnegative.  That's just my thoughts and not anyone 
else's. But I'm alittle concerned about the non-transparency. Bear with 
me, I'm not outto condone anybody, but give it some 
thought.CheersJohnIMCA # 2125-----Original Message-----From:
