Tom, You and I have a bond already with our trade. I'm not going tell you to stay on the list. I'm sure many people interested in meteorites do not subscribe to, or read much of the list. They probably get their news from friends and associates. Obviously, one would not be getting the daily details of the recovery and subsequent sales of US fall if they were not connected to the list. Then again, it is a first time for such a thing at this level of reporting.
Each one of us collects for their own reasons, and is usually a collector of more things than just the buying or trading of meteorites. Often the individual is a field collector of those other items or both. For me it is igneous and metamorphic rocks. For others it is minerals, or arrowheads, etc. I always encourage that one finds/elevates his passion by going out into the field itself for collecting. Those who have dropped everything at great expense to go to Chicago know that feeling. Fortunately for you ...the deserts of Arizona await you. You have a Gold Basin of your own to prove it. You could stay close to the study of meteorites by field work and/or by reading books, web articles or web pages. If the list does depress you for now, then find the passion in other ways. You'll have more time by not looking at the list. If you stay away...please keep in touch with some of us. Take care, John > Hello, all you good people of the list. > I love this great hobby and all the people that are involved in it, you > are some of the neatest people I have ever met, even if only by emails. : ) > But, at least for the time being, I am taking a break.
