[meteorite-list] Harvey Awards + Thanks to Greg and the List

[Greg Hupe]

Dear Geoff and List Members,

First, thank you Geoff for accepting The People's Choice Award on behalf of 
Steve, Phil and yourself. Your peers have sure given you guys a thunderous 
"Yes" vote. You all three certainly deserve it. Congratulations on the first 
annual People's Choice Award!

Secondly, I want to personally thank everyone who voted. Without you, things 
like this do not happen. It has been my pleasure to bring a fun project like 
this to the table.

Take care,
Greg
