[meteorite-list] Awfully quiet

[Anne Black]

I certainly agree with you, David, Matthias.
I don't like Facebook and their privacy policies, or lack of. It makes the Government agencies look like rank amateurs when it comes to watching what we are all doing.

However I certainly understand what Graham is saying when he writes  "had to venture into using it for marketing other aspects etc... just no choice if you want to keep up with things."
And there are times when I wonder if I will not be obligated to join it just and only for business purposes. That would be a very bitter pill to swallow!!!

Anyway we can all band together, protect our privacy, and keep the List going??
Any comments? anybody?

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.
