[meteorite-list] Awfully quiet

[Graham Ensor]

I always said I would not venture into Facebook but unfortunately it
is where all the action is and is so easy to use, post pictures to,
share info, personal message and find new material...see early new
finds and acquire exciting samples...Also had to venture into using it
for marketing other aspects etc...just no choice if you want to keep
up with things.

You do need to keep it in check with privacy settings and try not to
let it take over your life though.
