Hello List

I hardly write anything on the list although I enjoy reading every single one. 
I was against FB and gave in this year for the most part!
As of January 29th of this year FB passed 1.29 billion users. This is an 
unimaginable number of people.
Just don't say anything that you wish you could take back at a later date. 
Showing your recent acquisitions or wanting to sell one I think is pretty 
harmless. After all you can Google a certain meteorite and if it was discussed 
on the "metlist" it will show up!
