I concur with Martin,

The shift of meteorite dialog has most certainly migrated over to Facebook, which has no fewer than six meteorite and meteorite related focus groups in which to engage with insightful, interesting, and entertaining topics 24/7. The fact that several meteoriticists are on Facebook and actively contribute content and answer questions makes FB the go to medium for meteorite information.

Not to take anything away from this forum, but I also see our illustrious moderator Mr Jones on Facebook. So there?s nothing in the rules that precludes one from enjoying both. Come on in, the waters fine!
