[meteorite-list] most popular meteorite - answer

[Jeff Grossman]

Congratulations to several of you who were right on the money.  Here 
are the top 20, including the number of times the full page was 
viewed.  I almost suppressed the results for the pseudometeorites in 
the #2 and #5 positions since most of these hits were people 
following links from the Meteoritical Society website, where they 
were singled out.  Although scientists make extensive use of the 
site, these hits are clearly dominated by collectors, dealers, and 
nonscientists.
