Hello Jeff,
Thanks for the survey. It was interesting to see the find and fall percentage so close and that LL's did not get a higher rating. I goes to show there are many reasons why we like and collect meteorites.

>Firstly, thanks to all those who sent in replies to the post. While it's hard to get a good cross-section from 20-30 different replies, there were some interesting and somewhat unexpected outcomes. It started with an on-slaught of the LL-Chondrites (which I sort of expected) but a number of collectors in the last few days sent in majority votes for the H-Chondrites and slightly tipped the scales. The final result:

>H-Chondrites: 37%
>H/L Chondrites: 0%
>L-Chondrites: 30%
>L/LL Chondrites: 5%
>LL-Chondrites: 28%

>Finds: 51.2%
