Re: (meteorite-list) list policy poll

Just to clarify, the mailing list 'meteorobs@jovian.com', which Mr. Zay
is referring to here, is *NOT* a list where UFOs and related phenomena are
considered on-topic. Mr. Zay has gotten into very public disagreements
with some of the other active members of 'meteorobs' in the past, and so
has chosen to express his rancour against the list in this way.

But 'meteorite-list' readers can clearly see for themselves what is and is
not considered on-topic on 'meteorobs' - and may also gain some insights
into Mr. Zay himself - by browsing the 'meteorobs' Web Archive at:

    http://www.tiac.net/users/lewkaren/meteorobs


BTW, some meteorite enthusiasts may also find their interest in meteors
(the light phenomena which result from atmospheric entry of meteoroids),
and may end up deciding to join 'meteorobs' themselves... :)

Clear skies to all, and many meteors!
