[meteorite-list] Met Bulletin Off-Line - Traffic Overload

[Anne Black]

I totally agree.
And I took the liberty of "editing" Peter's email when I answer it.
And I just did it again.

Hi Peter and List,

The group actually has 12+ million followers - more than capable of
causing a traffic spike that will overload a server.  Now, if only I
could find a way to sneak an AD into that group.  LOL.

The Met Bull appears to be working now, for me.  Bernd says it's still
down for him.

I wish that group would change it's name.  I am not a prude, but I
don't want my grandson seeing that on my computer screen.  It's a
shame, because that group posts some interesting things, but I hate
that obscene name.

Best regards,

MikeG
