Why don't all list members from Illinois NOT let us know when they have an object that is not scientifically classified until the rock comes back as a REAL METEORITE.....If I brought it to the list each time someone brought me a meteorwrong, you would be bombarded weekly with a meteorwrong announcement. I am quite sure that on a week to week basis, we would collectively receive around fifty or more meteorwrong suspected meteorite announcements if we all reported every rock that some joker brought to a list member hoping it was a meteorite. Please do not post to the list each time someone brings you a meteorwrong that hasn't been tested. It wastes all of our time.
