I recently put out an open invitation of the Meteorite Central Email List, for it's members to come here and join the CN discussions. I think this will be a beneficial marriage of interests for all involved. The Met Central List members bring much expertise to the table and CN brings a thriving discussion venue to the table - so there is great potential here for learning on all sides.
I hope many of them come here and participate.
So, on the behalf of Cloudy Nights, I bid a warm welcome to the Meteorite List Members! 
Regards and clear skies,
MikeG

Not sure that was a good idea. You've seen some of the squabbles they have on there, no?

Well, my invitation also included a friendly "heads-up" (warning) that some of the shenanigans we see on the list will not be tolerated here. Since I have a whistle hanging around my neck (so to speak) and I spend a lot of time in this particular forum, I won't hesitate to blow it. 
Other than the occasional squabble, there are a lot of expert personalities on that list and CN could benefit greatly from their more positive contributions.

Hi Dave,
I can't take sole credit for this Space Rocks forum.
Our own moderator Carol (CSA/Montana) played a big role in that as well.
Meteorites just seemed like a natural fit for Cloudy Nights - given the astronomy atmosphere.
And welcome to the forum! I hope to see things really take off around and get interesting.
