Hello John, Mike, Brian, Jeff and all,
my english is not very good.
But I hope you will understand me.
First, I find the EOM really awesome.
Mainly because of the link to the MetBull database.
The EOM is no management of the collection for me.
For me it is important that when I look in the database of the MetBull, I want
to see photos of the listed meteorites also.
But not any photos!
It must be meaningful photos.
So I try in some photos that show characteristics of the meteorite or special
features of this meteorite type.
Because it's what I'm looking in the database of MetBull.
I have also very small pieces or crumbs in the collection, which I do not want
to listen to the EOM.
Simple reason, because you can not see any special feature of the meteorite in
the photo.
The problem should not be the number of photos of one and the same meteorite.
More important are photos, which clearly show each meteorite with his
properties and characteristics.
Best regards to all,
Mirko
