Dear Walter, David and all,
        I must confess I find it fascinating that some people actually
seam to hold a belief that they know the "purpose" of the list.
        The list was sponsored by Art, is hosted by Art and has always
been a forum for people interested in meteorites to communicate with
one another regarding that interest. That means ANYTHING related
to meteorites is a "go" with the only exceptions being outlined in the
list rules. 
        The only restrictions for this list are
        1 - the topic must be related (in some way) to meteorites,
collecting, buying, selling, finding and/or studying them, etc.
        2 - discussions must not violate list rules.
        There are plenty of "threads" that pop up on this list that
hold NO interest to me - that is inevitable. While it is even acceptable
to be critical of threads, I would hope we could all constrain ourselves
from declaring for what "purpose" the list exists. That was decided
upon its inception.
        Best wishes, Michael
