Just to add my 2 centavos that I agree with all the substance of your message: let me add a possible tweak on the first statement...
Rather than a "double standard," ever consider it might be more of a "twin stage addiction" of a sort. Some (or many) members can't do without their meteoritic hits. So when it is quiet, a "You've Got Mail" "meteorite-list" message from a meteorite person in the mailbox is enough to elicit the desired result no matter what the message says, and thus by association: meteorite! But the flip side is once the particular hit dosage becomes physiologically homeostatic, the the other Freudian functions of sometimes diverse list members kick in. Similar problems with side effects (diarrhea and vomiting, for example) to the problems pharma companies have in designing a one-dose-fits all product. (This present message couldn't be harder on bandwidth than the other bah-ha-uh-muah-caca, could it?)

It seems that this list suffers from a double standard from time to
time. Personally, I think that issues pertaining to the USA space program
deserve more bandwidth and attention on this list than threads like
"uhuhuhuhuh" and the like. If you want to enforce the letter of Art's
laws, most of Ron Baalke's posts shouldn't appear here, after all, what do
Mars probes have to do with meteorites? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy
Baalke's posts and hope they continue to appear on this forum.
As caustic as Randy can be at times I think he makes a good point on this
issue. I'd much rather toss his subject around for a few days instead of
watching Round 75 of the meteorite ego wars or read one more theory about
the evolution of a nonsensical word.
