So..
New classified interesting and rare meteorite anoucement is "quality" 
information or its spam ? I have feeling that its spam and will be banned or 
limited.

Looks like till 31 march I can send email to the list like this:
"I have new classified CK5 NWA 8214 for sale"
but from 1st aprill...
"I have new classified CK5 NWA 8214 in my collection"

Is that correct ? :)
