[meteorite-list] Met Bulletin Off-Line - Traffic Overload

Maybe the name of the group should be "I Fukang Love Science"

Ok, that is a terrible pun.

I guess the bright side of this is that people are being exposed to
meteorites that might not normally be exposed to such things. If this
gets a few people curious and into the field/hobby, then it's a good
thing. But, it's not good when it crashes the server.

Thanks for your hard work Jeff!

Best regards,

MikeG
