Dear List,
The closing down of the MeteoriteTimes web site was a preemptive decision
based upon recent events which demonstrated our high level of exposure to
lawsuits. Let us be clear. The magazine was NOT sued. But The Meteorite
Exchange, Inc.
has in the past had to defend itself on more than one occasion. We've learned
through experience how to better protect ourselves from groundless and dropped
litigations that only waste money and time.
Jim and I are finally sitting side by side and think that we have found a
solution to the liability issues faced by the publication of MeteoriteTimes.
The possible solution to the vacuum we created by ending MeteoriteTimes,
would be the creation of a venue where any person wanting to write a
meteorite /
tektite related article would be able to send us the link to their
article which
resides on their own web page.
We would provide the shell of structure and organization for this
collection of
links only. We would not have copyright, nor editorial responsibilities,
nor liabilities
for the consequences of the contents contained in said linked to articles.
We could preserve as much of the look and feel of the original magazine as
possible.
Links and indexes will function much as before with the linked to articles
appearing
in the main frame as before. We would also offer technical support and
graphics
ideas and possibly blank page templates.
This venue could have the potential of becoming a greater resource of meteorite
related material than could ever have been possible before.
Best wishes,
Jim and Paul
