[meteorite-list] Fwd: The SkyRock Cafe

[Lasse Lindh]

Hi Dave, Joe and all

I'm a quite new member of Skyrock cafe. I joined a few months ago. I'm 
pretty new to meteorite hunting and collecting. Skyrock cafe was, and 
is, a perfect place for me to learn and to share my thought, ideas and 
show my collection.

I have been met with respect in a friendly enviroment at Skyrock. We 
feel like one big familiy and many of us that are really active are 
quite new to the hobbie and eager to learn. We have also knowlegeable 
members, both hunters and collectors among us that willingly share their 
knowledge in a friendly way.

Some of us like the email based Meteorite List and some of us like the 
online forum better. Both has something to give.

I'm pretty sure that Joe did not mean to be disrespectful , but is a bit 
tired of people that question the existence of Skyrock cafe.  If I was 
presented by a new forum, my first thought would be, How nice, I'll 
check it out. It would not be, What does it doing unique or otherwise 
different than the met list?

Skyrock Cafe is a very nice place no matter what others say.

Kind regards

Lasse
