[meteorite-list] Does this NWA look familiar to anyone?

[MARK BOSTICK]

You seem to think you speak for the Nom Com. I think they are well in the 
power to speak for themselves.

When I say the same meteorite is the same meteorite, that does not mean that 
you can not have pairing.  I do understand what NWA means.  (And DAG, HAH, 
et al.) You are going to have pairing when you get lots of meteorites from 
any one place. So yes again, I see no problem with calling the same 
meteorite the same meteorite, a spade is a spade.  Getting a number only 
takes an e-mail.

I do not however think that the Nom Com rules means that if you sent 20 
grams of a meteorite in, that this gives you some power to be able to pair 
as many as you would like to with it. Perhaps I missed that line.

So yes, I do have problems with the strange double standard system that we 
currently have.  I think most do.
