Hi Pierre and List,

beginning of the end for your hobby so we have to find
new areas.>>


 I don't think it will mean the beginning of the end of the hobby, - it
may even go back to being like the good old days, when material was
highly treasured and usually properly labeled & recorded. - And let's
face it, it was only ever going to be a 'finite resource'.

When I started collecting around 20 years ago, meteorite collecting was
fun, almost magical, of course that was before the internet really
opened up trade, but who knows maybe some of the pathetic bickering and
market manipulation will disappear once all the NWA fields dry up? ... A
cynical view, I know - but hey ... ;)


Best
Mark
