[meteorite-list] [IMCA] Elections

[Gary Fujihara]

Aloha Elizabeth,

You don't have to sell meteorites to become a member of the IMCA.  The organization stands for Meteorite Collectors first and foremost and if you're interested in and adamant about preserving the authenticity of your and all meteorites in the collector community, then you too should become a member. 

For more information about how you, anyone else can join the IMCA, please see this webpage: http://imca.cc/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3&Itemid=13

Oh, and yes, Craig probably unintentionally addressed his post to the wrong list.  Shame shame … ;^)

I don't see how IMCA officers have anything to do with what goes on on the [meteorite-list]. Yes, IMCA officers and members are also members of this list, but my understanding was this was separate from IMCA...

People were calling others cheats and liars, without full knowlege of the situations at hand, and it was almost depressing.  My question is...What would you do to try and curb this nonsense, and to keep this forum on the right track?
