Hello, You are referring to the statement I made, and I reread it and I see that I was not clear. Many years ago, there was not an AD Ban or a 1 Ad a week rule, this was before your time on the list. In those days, a huge amount of ads coincided with a multitude of diverse meteorite topic

Hi List, "THE BEST TOPICS. THE BEST CONVERSTION ON METEORITES COINCIDED WITH THE MOST ADS." I respectfully disagree here. I've seen perfectly good questions about meteoritics posted in the past, only to hear crickets and see tumbleweeds in response. More often than not, the preponderance of ads
