[meteorite-list] Mongolian Meteorite Association :-)

I had always understood that, although there might be some good collecting 
in the Gobi, it was very difficult.  Anything found there was subject to 
being confiscated by the Chinese government at their discretion, no matter 
what papers and permits might have been filed.  If these folks have worked 
out an agreement to allow searching in the Gobi without having a govenment 
official come along and say "Oh, you've found some very nice meteorites 
there, thank you, I'll just take those", it might be worthwhile to 
investigate.
