Welcome to this List, Tom !

How come you got to loving and collecting meteorites? Some years ago,
back in 2000, we had a very interesting thread that was called "What
I do".

Unfortunately, this thread is no longer accessible in our List Archives but
I still have most of these contributions on my hard disk. It was real fun to
learn a little / sometimes a lot more about the people behind our hobby.

Here are some reactions / responses from that thread. Maybe some
"newbies" would be willing to "revive" it. here we go:
