[meteorite-list] Terminology, meteorite collector?

[Kevin Forbes]

Well, after the feedback, I can either choose one of my own, since I have 
always liked the term Sky Stones for meteorites, that might make me a Sky 
Stoner, ?????
or I can choose between being a phile or a cist. ????

meteoriticist ( I feel is probably more correct )
Meteoritophiles (A very close second )
Baetylophages. ( I do have a couple on a pedestal )
Starrockers ( When's the concert, I worked as a roadie for a while, I can 
also count past two, one, two, testing... three, see.)
Telepetrologists. ( Well done )
Meteorists ( Another maybe )

Cheers all, Kevin. VK3UKF.
