David,
I think you've already made your point. Those member of the
Meteorite List who care to comment have done so already. I was the

I liked the idea of a forum. However, after having some more time to

But only shortly, I will,
As it's for me a not s interesting topic.

meanwhile the majority of collectors would tell to collect meteo

My opinion only,

Hi All,
I would like to keep this list as is as Bob L. mentioned.
I am a moderator of three groups and have found that often I do not read them
daily unless a post was send directly to me, and also if photos were posted and
it was send in a message one never knows.

Please explain the following:
1. The meteorite list is a time-honoured institution.
It's only been around for 11 years. What did you use before the list?
2.We love the old-fashion style
Who is we? Are you speaking for the entire membership?
3. A forum offers a lot of more knickknack. It's
Well said Geoff...I totally agree...hope you've recovered from the

After a fine speech, our dear respected friend and long-time list
member Geoff stepped off the soapbox! I could not agree more...
Thanks also a bunch to Art Jones, the admin of this
I can't say it better as Geoff did.
A modernization doesn't mean automatically an improvement.
The meteorite list is a time-honoured institution.
We love the old-fashion style
and why to change that, what has proven to be well-tried and to work?

The M-List, along with "Meteorite Times," are the cornerstones of the

I know you said "most may not see my reasons as valid" but this went to the
entire list so I would like an opportunity to address each of your issues
for the benefit of the other members that may not be familiar with how
forums work.

I don't know about other people (haven't read all of the replies yet) but here
are somr reasons for me:
1.) A mailing list automaticly sends the information to you-- you get all the
updates at once just by opening your e-mail app. With web forums, it is up to
you to actively search for new inform
ist. I just wish it didn't come to me in my

Hi all
I've been using forums since they were mailing lists and a part of the
BBS way back in ancient times in the 80:ies. Mailing lists are great
since they allow you to read an answer in piece at home. They were great
when most people had phone dial modems. Today, when we are graphically
