Dear List,

Paul's email actually pertained our Meteorite Exchange meteorite.com
site and we have both bad news and good news.

Bad News: The company who's search code we used is no longer supporting
it so we decided to stop using it. Keeping old unsupported PHP code
that accepts input from anyone on the Internet is just asking for future
hacking troubles...

In place of the Search Bar we now have 4 rotating banner ads instead of
just 1.

Good News: I'm working on a new search project that will allow you to
search by category or specimen name and then link directly that dealer's
website. I hope to have some cool features. As an example, I'm going
to try to have Twitter support so that when a dealer adds a new
meteorite listing on our site it will automatically send a Tweet.

We're busy working on Meteorite Times and hope to have it up by the end
of this week.

Thank you all!

Paul Harris
