Hello Marc

This Meteorite List has terms of service as well, and has removed
individuals based upon their postings. It would be a shame if our precious
meteorite list was dragged into an ideological debate as we have struggled
to keep the List on topic in the past.

Even though this List is not a democracy, I vote no on your proposal as
briefly described.

Announcements are fine, I believe, as long as they abide by the TOS, but an
increased traffic flow is concerning if it deviates from the spirit and
purpose of this List. Perhaps more clarification about your proposal is
needed.

Best wishes

Martin
