[meteorite-list] Not an answer they like

[neshuee at citlink.net]

 I think at this point that I would reply back and apologize for attempting to give forth helpful and factual information as well as for being so insensitive to their feelings and then simply offer to pay whatever asking price that they so choose as soon as they provide you with the following information......
* Full first name, middle initial and last name of all of their immediate family* Clear group pic of immediate family* Currant address as well as last two prior addresses
* Date of birth* Place of birth
* Social security #* Currant employer 
* All past and currant passwords* Favorite ice cream flavor 
  and names of all past and currant household pets
Maybe next time try not to be so serious.

 Hi Tracy,

Block their email address and forget about it. Not worth the hassle.
They'll keep it up until they find some other quack who validates
their belief. Then the rock will end up on eBay with a poorly-worded
description, blurry photos, and a Buy it Now price of $10k or more.

Best regards,

MikeG
