[meteorite-list] One serious question for this list.

[Michael Farmer]

I have noted something serious about this list lately. 
Why is it that any little controversy or argument can generate endless posts
from so many members of this list, yet exciting news can often generate
NOTHING?

I announced a brand new LUNAR meteorite yesterday, a bit of news that only 3
or 4 years ago would have meant newspaper and magazine articles. It is only
the 40th Lunar meteorite known. I got some private congratulation emails,
and sold the pieces, but virtually nothing on the list. I am curious why
announcements of some crappy H5 or LL3 or this and than can often generate
30 or 40 replies, but new moon rocks seem to be totally without interest.
Has this list fallen so far that news like new moon rocks is meaningless?
Is it time to put this list to bed and start something new? 

Enquiring minds want to know.
