[meteorite-list] meteorite-list] List is getting torpid

Hi,
A simple way to make the list more informative would be if people when
responding to posts of a general nature would reply to all. Whenever I ask a
question about half of the responses that I receive are directed only to me.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the responses. However I think that the
whole list should have the benefit of them, unless there is a good reason
not to include the general meteorite community.

Thanks,

Peter

Well said Jim and I'll give you a like. Traditions are changing. I was very
adamant at first and held back from social media but it was the only way
that I could keep in contact with my family. And yes, the days of forums are
slowly dying unless you incorporate them into the social media, as Nugget
Shooters has as well as many others.

Just my $1.50AU

Cheers
John
