[meteorite-list] Meteoritical Bulletin Main Mass photos

[almitt2 at localnet.com]

  Hi Marcin and others,

I also don't like any of the social media groups and if dealers, 
collectors and buyers want to know what I am selling they have to come 
here or to me. My problem is our meteorite community keeps moving 
things around (probably for commercial reasons) rather than actually 
having a consistent center to simply discuss meteorites.

  So my vote is to have discussions here. I'd like to pledge some more 
commitment to posting here once in a while (one or two times per 
month?). Also if we can put our petty differences aside and simply 
discuss meteorites, we can have an enjoyable forum here. We don't have 
to always agree or disagree, but respectful discussion can go a long 
way to bringing more people into the hobby, unlike the past which drove 
people away.f

My two chondrules.
