[meteorite-list] Awfully quiet

[Frank Carroll]

Hello List

I hardly write anything on the list although I enjoy reading every single one. I was against FB and gave in this year for the most part!
As of January 29th of this year FB passed 1.29 billion users. This is an unimaginable number of people.
Just don't say anything that you wish you could take back at a later date. Showing your recent acquisitions or wanting to sell one I think is pretty harmless. After all you can Google a certain meteorite and if it was discussed on the "metlist" it will show up!
Getting busy at work have to go

Unfortunately for me, I don't seem to get the joy from facebook that the met list of old gave me. I have barely said 2 words on facebook. I really can't put my finger on what the disconnect is, but it's there. Perhaps it's the snippets of info instead of more details, maybe it's the hundreds of people that want to be my 'friend' that I've never heard of. Maybe I feel like it's going to be to much of a commitment once I dive in? On top of all this is the privacy issue, real or imagined.
