Good Evening List members;

After much thought and inner-struggle I've decided to REALLY crack down on
the abuse of certain List policies - that WILL be enforced starting
immediately.

While in the past I have been extremely patient and forgiving regarding
posts that do not fall within the guidelines, these types of posts will,
in the future, cause IMMEDIATE (as soon as I can initiate the process)
suspension from the List. The standard suspension length will be
indefinite. Suspension will be based on policy abuse alone, and personal
feelings (whether mine or other member's) will not be taken into
consideration.

There is really only one other way to handle the current problems and that
is List moderation - a step I don't think anyone wants (especially me as
it will require much more time on my part).

View the List Policies page:
http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing_list.shtml for the latest
policies.

I felt like I needed to post this one LAST statement/warning to be fair,
as many individuals that stray from the rules from time to time, are in
general - valuable members.

Hopefully everyone will understand and approve of my actions.

Note: there will be no posting of recently suspended members, nor emails
to these specific members when they have been suspended (I just don't have
the time for that). So, if you find you can not post to the List, take a
good look at your recent posts and you'll no doubt see why this has
happened. Feel free to email me with any concerns or questions.

P.S. To all who have emailed me personally, concerned with the List's
direction, I do appreciate your input and I will be responding to your
mails in the near future. I think this is a step in the right direction.

Regards, Art
